Ingredients
  

For the Filling

  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Swap for Monterey Jack for a milder taste.
  • 1 cup Chopped Brisket Feel free to substitute with shredded chicken or pulled pork.
  • 1/2 cup Diced Jalapeños Adjust the quantity to manage the heat level.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Green Onions Chives can be used as a tasty alternative.
For the Wrappers and Cooking
  • 12 oz Egg Roll Wrappers Ensure gluten-free wrappers if needed.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Add in the chopped brisket, diced jalapeños, and chopped green onions, mixing until fully integrated and smooth—about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface, with one point facing you. Place a generous spoonful of the filling in the center, fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides firmly, and roll it up tightly. Seal the edges with a little water.
  3. In a deep skillet or frying pan, pour enough oil to cover the bottom and heat it to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer or bread test to ensure the oil is hot enough for frying.
  4. Carefully place 3-4 egg rolls in the hot oil, frying for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Once cooled slightly, arrange the egg rolls on a serving platter and drizzle with warm honey before serving.
