Ingredients:

• 10 slices bacon
  
  

• 2 jalapeños, seeded and finely diced
  
  

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  
  

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  
  

• 8 egg roll wrappers
  
  

• Vegetable oil (for frying)
  
  

• Optional: ranch dressing or jalapeño jelly for dipping
  
  

Directions:

1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet, drain on paper towels, and crumble into small pieces.
   
   

2. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the crumbled bacon, diced jalapeños, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until well blended.
   
   

3. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners, and roll tightly, sealing the edge with a little water.
   
   

4. Heat the Oil: In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
   
   

5. Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
   
   

6. Serve: Serve the egg rolls hot with ranch dressing or jalapeño jelly for dipping.
