These crispy smoked gouda jalapeño popper egg rolls combine smoky cheese and spicy peppers wrapped in a crunchy egg roll wrapper, perfect for parties and casual snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium jalapeños, seeded and finely diced (leave some seeds for extra heat)
  • 1 cup shredded smoked gouda cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Vegetable oil for frying (about 4 cups)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine diced jalapeños, shredded smoked gouda, softened cream cheese, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and thick enough to hold shape.
  2. Prep the egg roll wrappers: Lay one wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you (diamond shape). Brush edges lightly with beaten egg.
  3. Fill and roll: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling near the corner closest to you. Fold that corner over the filling, tuck in the sides snugly, and roll tightly towards the opposite corner. Seal the edge with beaten egg. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  4. Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of 2-3 inches. Heat to 350°F (175°C), using a thermometer to maintain temperature.
  5. Fry the egg rolls: Carefully add 3-4 egg rolls at a time to hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch, turning occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels or wire rack.
  6. Serve warm: Let egg rolls rest for a minute or two before serving so filling sets slightly but remains gooey.

Notes

Keep oil temperature steady at 350°F to avoid greasy or burnt egg rolls. Cover wrappers with a damp towel to keep pliable. Seal edges well with beaten egg to prevent bursting. For baking, brush with oil and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway.
