Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls
- 4 whole Large Jalapeno Peppers
- 1/2 Tablespoons Canola Oil, For Drizzling Over Peppers
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups Canola Oil
- 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese
- 8 whole Egg Roll Wrappers
- 1 whole Egg, Beaten
- Start by preheating your oven to 400 F.
- Take a jalapeno pepper, cut off the stem and slice it in half, lengthwise.
- Remove the seeds and ribs, and place it on a baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining jalapeno peppers.
- Drizzle a bit of canola oil over the peppers, and season with a bit of salt.
- Place in the oven, and roast the peppers for about 10 minutes.
- You will want a bit of texture to the peppers.
- Remove pan from the oven and let them cool.
- During this time, heat a pot on the stove over medium heat.
- Add in the remaining canola oil and bring it to 350 F.
- Fill each jalapeno with a generous amount of cream cheese.
- Take an egg roll wrapper, and lay it on a plate with the points facing you and away from you in a diamond shape.
- Add a stuffed jalapeno half into the center, then fold over the bottom of the wrapper, gently pulling it to tighten the fold.
- Roll it over about a 1/2 inch, then fold over each side.
- Brush the exposed, top part of the egg roll wrapper with the beaten egg, and continue to fold and seal the egg roll.
- Repeat with the rest of the peppers and wrappers.
- Once your oil is heated and the egg rolls are rolled, carefully drop about 3-4 into the pot, or as many that can comfortably fit into the pot.
- Cook for about 5 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Remove them from the oil with some tongs and place onto a paper lined sheet to let any excess oil drain.
- Repeat frying the rest.
- When you are ready to serve, just dig in and take a bite.
- Its everything you love about a jalapeno popper, but in my opinion a heck of a lot better.
- I think the egg roll wrapper is actually a much better vehicle instead of the cornmeal exterior.
- If you are looking for a great appetizer, or some great game day grub, give these shot.
- Hope you enjoy!
