Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls: A Spicy, Crispy Snack

Serving: Serve these Bacon Jalapeño Popper Eggrolls as an appetizer or party snack. They pair perfectly with a creamy dipping sauce, and they’re great for sharing with friends and family.

Storage: Leftover eggrolls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, bake them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or fry them for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.

Variations:

Cheese Variations: Use different types of cheese like mozzarella, pepper jack, or even a blend of cheeses to customize the flavor.

Spicy Kick: For more heat, leave some of the jalapeño seeds in the filling or add a dash of hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture.

Baked Version: For a lighter option, brush the eggrolls with a little olive oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

FAQ:

Can I use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon? Yes, turkey bacon can be used as a lighter alternative, though the texture and flavor may vary slightly.

Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, you can assemble the eggrolls ahead of time and refrigerate them until you’re ready to fry or bake. Just be sure to cover them with a damp paper towel to prevent the wrappers from drying out.

Can I freeze these eggrolls? Yes, you can freeze the assembled but uncooked eggrolls. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to eat, fry or bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
