Ingredients & Substitutions

Ingredients for Fiery Turkey bacon Jalapeño Popper Egg Rolls

12 egg roll wrappers
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup cooked turkey bacon, crumbled
1/4 cup diced jalapeños, seeded (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Jalapeño popper egg rolls makes every moment feel satisfying. Tips: For a sharper flavor, try using a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. If you don’t have fresh cilantro, dried cilantro can be used (use about 1 teaspoon). For a vegetarian option, simply omit the turkey bacon or substitute it with sautéed mushrooms for an earthy flavor.

How to make Fiery Turkey bacon Jalapeño Popper Egg Rolls

Step 1: Prepare the oven and baking sheet.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the filling.

In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, crumbled turkey bacon, diced jalapeños, cilantro, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.

Step 3: Assemble the egg rolls.

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with one point facing you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper.

Step 4: Fold the egg rolls.

Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly to seal the egg roll. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 5: Bake the egg rolls.

Place the egg rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg (egg wash) to help them brown nicely.

Step 6: Bake until golden brown.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Let cool slightly before serving.

Chef’s Tip: Keep the finished egg rolls warm in a low oven (around 200°F) until ready to serve.

Tips for Success

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth and creamy filling.
Don’t overfill the egg rolls to prevent them from bursting during baking.
Adjust the amount of jalapeños to your preferred spice level. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
For extra crispy egg rolls, you can lightly spray the tops with cooking spray before baking in addition to the egg wash.

Serving Suggestions

These jalapeño popper egg rolls are delicious on their own, but they’re even better with a dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, sweet chili sauce, or even a simple sour cream are great options. For a lighter option, try serving them with a dollop of Greek yogurt. If you are in the mood for something similar, but want something a little different, try these jalapeño popper twists. They are also amazing!

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results. Reheating in the microwave will make the wrappers soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze these egg rolls?

Yes, you can freeze them before baking. Place the assembled egg rolls on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Are these egg rolls very spicy?

The spice level depends on the amount of jalapeños you use. If you’re sensitive to heat, be sure to remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños, and start with a smaller amount. You can always add more, but you can’t take it away!

Can I air fry these egg rolls?

Yes, air frying is a great option! Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through. For another exciting appetizer option, take a peek at this cheesy hamburger potato casserole.
