Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients:

  • Egg Roll Wrappers 10–12: These serve as the crispy, golden shell for the filling. You can typically find them in the refrigerated aisle where Asian or specialty items are stocked.
  • Goat Cheese 6 oz: Creamy and tangy, goat cheese is the star of the filling, adding richness to every bite.
  • Jalapeños 2–3, finely chopped: These provide a spicy kick—feel free to adjust the amount to suit your spice tolerance.

Optional Add-Ins for Extra Flavor:

  • Cream Cheese 2 oz: Mix with goat cheese for an even creamier texture.
  • Honey 1–2 tsp: A hint of sweetness pairs beautifully with the spice.
  • Fresh Herbs like chives or parsley: Add a sprinkle of finely chopped herbs for color and freshness.

For Cooking:

  • Cooking Oil if frying: A neutral oil, like vegetable or canola, works best for achieving a crispy, golden texture.
  • Nonstick Spray if baking: This ensures even browning without excess oil.

Optional Dipping Sauces:

  • Sweet Chili Sauce: A great balance of sweet and spicy.
  • Ranch Dressing: A cooling contrast to the heat.
  • Sriracha Mayo: Adds extra spice with a creamy twist.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened goat cheese, chopped jalapeños, and any optional ingredients like cream cheese, honey, or herbs.
  • Mix thoroughly until the texture is smooth and the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Adjust the seasoning to suit your taste.

Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls

  • Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, positioning it like a diamond with a corner pointing toward you.
  • Add 1–2 tablespoons of the prepared filling near the bottom portion of the wrapper.
  • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, ensuring it covers the mixture snugly, then bring in the sides to create a neat package.
  • Roll the wrapper tightly upward to form the egg roll, using a little water or egg wash on the edges to secure it closed.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 3: Cook the Egg Rolls

  • Frying Method:
  • Heat about 1–2 inches of neutral oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat.
  • Once the oil reaches around 350°F (175°C), gently lower the egg rolls into the pan in small batches.
  • Cook each side for approximately 2–3 minutes, or until they turn a rich golden brown and develop a crisp texture.
  • Remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  • Baking Method:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Arrange the egg rolls evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Lightly coat the rolls with cooking spray to encourage crisping.
  • Bake for 15–18 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even browning, until they’re golden and crunchy.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve your egg rolls while they’re warm, paired with dipping sauces like sweet chili sauce, ranch dressing, or sriracha mayo for a delightful flavor boost.
