Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 cup (about 4 oz) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
  • 2–3 fresh jalapenos, seeded and finely diced
  • 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 12 egg roll wrappers (about 6x6 inches)
  • Water (for sealing wrappers)
  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (for brushing)
  • Optional: Ranch dressing, salsa, or chipotle mayo for dipping

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar, chopped bacon, diced jalapenos, green onions (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended and creamy.
  2. Lay out egg roll wrappers on a clean plate or cutting board. Prepare a small bowl of water for sealing the edges.
  3. Place one wrapper with a corner facing you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the lower third. Roll the corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and continue rolling tightly. Dab water on the top corner to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  4. Lightly brush each egg roll with olive oil or avocado oil on all sides.
  5. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Arrange egg rolls in the air fryer basket with space between each. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Let egg rolls cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Do not overfill the wrappers to prevent bursting. Seal edges well with water. For extra crunch, brush lightly with oil and avoid crowding the air fryer basket. Filling can be made ahead and chilled for easier wrapping. For gluten-free, use rice paper wrappers (texture will be less crispy). Vegetarian version: omit bacon and add more cheese or black beans.
