Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 Egg roll wrappers
  • 8 oz Cream cheese softened
  • 2 Fresh jalapeños seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Fresh cilantro chopped (optional)
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder optional
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1 cup Vegetable oil for frying

Equipment

  • Frying pan (or deep fryer for frying)
  • Knife (for chopping jalapeños)
  • Cutting board
  • Small bowl (for mixing filling)
  • Tongs (for handling egg rolls)
  • Paper towels (for draining excess oil)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Filling: Hatch Green Chile Jalapeno Cheese SpreadIn a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, finely chopped jalapeños, cilantro, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Everything should be blended smoothly and thoroughly incorporated.
  2. For the Egg Roll Wrappers: Place the egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Put a wrapper in front of you (diamond shape).
  3. Fill the Wrapper: Add a tablespoon or two of the cream cheese filling to the centre of the wrapper.
  4. Fold the Wrapper: Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling and fold in the sides to seal in the filling. Tight roll, sealing the edge with water to keep the wrapper closed. Continue until you've used the remaining wrappers and filling.
  5. Cook the Egg Rolls: Heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a frying pan. When everybody maxes out the pan, close the egg rolls on every side for 2-3 minutes except for brilliant brown and fresh. You can also bake the egg rolls at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  6. Drain and Serve: Take the egg rolls out of the oil and lay them on paper towels to reduce extra oil. Serve immediately with your favourite dipping sauce, ranch, sweet chilli, or sriracha.

Notes

For a spicier version, leave the seeds in the jalapeños or add some hot sauce to the cream cheese mixture.
If you’re looking for a healthier option, bake instead of frying the egg rolls. Brush them lightly with olive oil for a crispy texture without deep frying.
Feel free to customize the filling by adding cooked chicken, bacon, or other vegetables for extra flavor and texture.
