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
* canned/jarred jalapeno peppers * deep fryer or frying pan *
Mini Jalapeno Popper Egg Rolls
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces canned jalapeño peppers diced
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 green onions finely sliced
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat oil to 350°F.
- Combine the cream cheese, cheddar, jalapeño peppers, garlic powder and green onions.
- Place each wonton wrapper diagonally and add 1 tablespoon of filling. Brush a little bit of water on the edge of the wrapper and fold in half pinching to seal. Fold the sides in and roll the egg roll ensuring it is completely sealed.
- Drop each egg roll into the hot oil for about 3 minutes or until brown and crispy.
- Caution: the filling will be hot! Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

I made these with fresh jalepeno and cooked them in my air fryer. They were very yummy.
How long did you bake them and at what temp? Did you shake in between all? I want to try for superbowl party
Have you ever baked these instead of frying? If so, how would you go about doing that?
I have baked them however I do prefer them fried. You could try brushing with oil and bake. Let me know how it works for you!
Can I prep these the day before and then fry
Can they be baked instead of fried?!
I have tried them baked but I prefer the texture and flavor fried.
I’m going to try to make the fried pickles and the jalapeño poppers. The look delicious.
Can you make these ahead of time(how far ahead) and fry them day Of? If so, how should they be stored? Thinking of making these for superbowl this Sunday.
I would suggest freezing these if you make them ahead of time. They can be cooked from frozen for about 4 minutes or until crisp and the filling is hot and melted.
Would you deep fry them first then freeze them?
I would freeze them uncooked.
I am making them now. All ready and set to put in the oil. Can’t wait to eat them. I had to make them. They looked so yummy.
About how many will this make?
You should be able to make about 20-24 mini egg rolls.
What’s the yield on this recipe?
This looks great. Do you happen to know how many wonton wrappers are in a package? I want to make my own.
I try not to deep fry anything….do you think I could bake these?
Many people bake egg rolls so I think it would work however you wouldn’t get the same crispy texture on the outside.
True. I think I’ll give it a try though! Thank you!
I’d love to her how it works out for you!
bake at 450 on oiled rack or on pan directly , only brush or spray with water, when top is crisp turn and brush or spray with water, until bottom is crisp, presentation is less browned but crispy like fried
Thank you for sharing!
I just made these and they are the bomb
So glad you loved them!
can I use Fresh jalapenos? If so, how manY?
You definitely can. You’ll want to use approximately 2 fresh jalapenos, seeded and finely diced or to taste depending on how much heat you would like.
These tasted great, but, i would suggest buying the egg roll wrappers and not the wanton wrappers. They are very small and not so easily handled. Overall the flavor was great.
