Ingredients
- 2 cups cabbage (shredded)
- 1 cup carrots (shredded)
- 1 cup onion (chopped)
- ¼ cup jalapeno (chopped)
- 1 cup cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 10 egg roll wrappers (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 2 cups cooking oil (for frying)
- ¼ cup pepper Jelly (for dipping)
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: Begin by warming the oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. You’ll need enough oil to submerge the egg rolls halfway.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chopped onion, shredded cabbage, carrots, and jalapenos. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay out the egg roll wrappers and place a generous spoonful of the filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the edges of the wrapper over the filling, then roll tightly to seal. Make sure the filling is securely wrapped inside the egg roll.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place the egg rolls in the hot oil, frying them for about 10 minutes until they’re golden brown and crispy. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to flip them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Serve: Once the egg rolls are fried to perfection, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Serve with a side of pepper jelly for dipping.
Tips
- Adjust the Heat: If you prefer a milder egg roll, reduce the amount of jalapenos or omit them entirely. For extra heat, feel free to add more jalapenos or even some hot sauce to the filling.
- Customize the Veggies: You can add other vegetables like bell peppers, corn, or even spinach to suit your tastes.
- Try Air Frying: If you’re looking to cut down on oil, you can air fry the egg rolls for a healthier alternative. Just spray them lightly with oil before air frying.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to a day. When you’re ready to cook, just assemble the egg rolls and fry them.
