Method
- Cook bacon strips until crispy, then crumble into small pieces and set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Season the filling mixture with salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that bacon adds saltiness.
- Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you, creating a diamond shape.
- Place approximately 2-3 tablespoons of filling in the center of the wrapper, slightly below the center point.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in both side corners, creating an envelope shape.
- Roll tightly toward the top corner, using beaten egg to seal the final edge completely.
- Repeat the process with remaining wrappers and filling, ensuring each roll is tightly sealed.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Place egg rolls in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don't touch each other for even cooking.
- Spray the tops of egg rolls lightly with cooking spray for enhanced browning.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time for even browning.
- Check for golden-brown color and crispy texture before removing from air fryer.
- Allow egg rolls to cool for 2-3 minutes before serving to prevent burning from hot filling.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy while hot and crispy.
Notes
For milder heat, remove all jalapeño seeds and membranes. These egg rolls can be assembled ahead of time and stored in refrigerator until ready to cook. Leftover cooked egg rolls can be reheated in air fryer for 2-3 minutes.
