How to Make Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls

Step 1: Prepare The Filling: In a bowl, mix the chopped jalapeños, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, bacon bits, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.

Step 2: Fill and Roll: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat. Put a spoonful of the filling in the center.

Step 3: Assemble: Fold the sides over the filling, then roll it up tightly. Seal the edge with water or egg wash.

Step 4: Preheat your air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C) so the egg rolls get crispy and golden.

Step 5 Air Fry: Place the egg rolls in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t touch. You might need to do this in batches. Lightly spray or brush them with oil and air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until they’re crispy and golden brown.

How to Store Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls

If you have leftovers (which is rare), here’s how to keep them:

• Refrigeration: Store cooled egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for a few minutes to get them crispy again.
• Freezing: Freeze uncooked egg rolls on a baking sheet until solid. Then, put them in a freezer bag and store themfor up to three months. Cook from frozen in the air fryer, adding a few extra minutes to the time.

Air Fryer Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls Recipe Tips

• Get Everything Ready First: Before you start, make sure all your ingredients are
• prepped. Chop up your jalapenos, grate the cheese, and have the egg roll wrappers set out.
• Soften the Cream Cheese: Working with soft cream cheese is much easier. I leave it out for about 30 minutes or give it a quick zap in the microwave to soften it.
• Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to put too much filling in each wrapper. I use about 2 tablespoons of filling for each egg roll. This way, they cook evenly and don’t break apart.
• Seal the Edges: To keep the filling from leaking out, I use water or egg wash to seal the edges of the wrapper. Make sure they’re sealed tightly!
• Preheat the Air Fryer: Like baking, I preheat my air fryer for a few minutes. It
• helps get that nice crispy texture.
• Lightly Spray with Oil: For extra crunch, I spray the egg rolls with a little cooking spray before air frying. This helps them turn golden without deep frying.
• Flip for Even Cooking: About halfway through air frying, I flip the egg rolls so both sides get crispy.
• Cool on a Rack: After they’re done, I let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. This keeps them from getting soggy and helps them stay crunchy.

Variations

• Chicken: Add shredded chicken to the filling to make chicken jalapeno popper egg rolls.
• Veggie Delight: Skip the bacon and add shredded carrots or bell peppers.
• Cheese Heaven: Use different cheeses like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a different flavor profile.

Substitutions

Don’t have everything? Here’s what you can use instead:

• Cream Cheese: Try ricotta or goat cheese.
• Bacon: Use smoked paprika or liquid smoke.
• Egg Roll Wrappers: Spring roll wrappers or phyllo dough work too.
