- Tongs or slotted spoon
Ingredients
- 8 oz 225g goat cheese, softened
- 3 fresh jalapeños seeded and finely diced
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened goat cheese and diced jalapeños until well mixed.
Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).
- Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the goat cheese mixture near the center.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly toward the top corner.
- Seal the edge with a dab of water.
Cook the Egg Rolls:
- Deep Frying: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Air Frying: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly brush or spray the egg rolls with oil. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway, until crispy and golden.

Notes & Tips:

- Storage: Place cooled egg rolls in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: To maintain crispiness, reheat in an oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
