Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 ounces) package cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Monterey jack cheese (shredded)
- 1 (4 ounces) can of jalapeno peppers (diced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh garlic (minced)
- 3 green onions (diced)
- 1 tablespoon bacon bits (or more, to taste)
- ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1 (16 ounces) package wonton wrappers
- 1 egg
- 1-quart vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl mix together cream cheese, Monterey jack cheese, jalapeno peppers, garlic, green onions, and bacon bits. Season with a little black pepper. Beat an egg in a small bowl.
- Place about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of a wonton wrapper. Fold over the left and right corners to the middle. Using a brush or the bottom of a spoon, brush the beaten egg on the edges of the wonton wrappers. Finish rolling up tightly and secure to make sure there are no leaks. Repeat until all of the wonton wrappers are used or the cream cheese mixture is gone.
- In a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat (these can also be cooked in the deep-fryer at 375 degrees). Drop 3-4 of the rolled wontons into the oil at a time, and quickly fry, turning once until they are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Repeat until all of the jalapeno popper rolls are fried.
