If you love Jalapeno poppers.. you are going to go crazy for these! Crispy, creamy, cheesy and spicy… pretty much everything you need to concoct the perfect bite!
I’m kind of addicted to spice.. I use Sriracha like ketchup and can’t really eat anything without adding some sort of heat to it. One of the all time favorite recipes on this site is Jalapeno Popper Dip so I know you guys like it a little spicy too!
This appetizer is easy to make, you’ll want to make sure the cheese is really well sealed so it doesn’t leak into the oil causing splatters. These egg rolls are mini (about 2″ long) so they use wonton wrappers and not egg roll wrappers. Wonton wrappers can be found in most grocery stores in the produce area (or near the tofu). If you don’t see them, be sure to ask because most stores do have them!
Things you’ll need for this recipe

Why heat the oven if you are going to “drop into hot oil”??? These sound great but I’m trying to stay away from the mess of hot oil. Can you clarify??
Hi Vicki, in step one we preheat the oil to 350°F not the oven. I hope that helps clarify it.
Can I fry them, cools them and freeze them. I will heat them up in the oven right before serving. I do not want to fry for 30 people on the spot as the whole house will smell
Absolutely, Anita! That will work perfectly :)
