Jalapeno Cream Cheese Rolls

The first step is to let the cream cheese come to room temperature and then mix in the cheddar, jalapenos, and black pepper. 

These are inspired by jalapeno poppers and they taste best freshly fried and eaten right away.  The cheese just melts and makes these deliciously ooey-gooey.  There are just a few simple ingredients: Cream cheese, cheddar cheese, black pepper, jalapenos, and spring roll wrappers.      

Then spoon out a small amount on the spring roll sheet.  You don’t need to put too much filling as it puffs up when fried.  

Fold the bottom corner up over the filling.

Next, fold the two sides in towards the center.

Add the “glue” (mixture of flour and water) to the edges.

And roll upwards, from the filling side to the corner at the top.  

Preheat your oil to medium- high while you wrap the remainder of the spring rolls.  The number of rolls that you can make depend on the amount of filling you use.

Fry them until they turn a light golden color.  

Spoon the rolls out onto some paper towel to let the excess oil drain before serving.  

Ingredients:
1 packet of spring roll wraps
1 pack of cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
3 jalapenos, de-seeded and finely chopped
pinch of black pepper
1 tbsp white flour
1 tbsp warm water
oil for frying

Method:

1. Defrost the packet of spring rolls.
2. Mix together the white four and warm water to form a paste and set aside (this will be used to glue together the wraps.
3. In a medium sized bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapeno, and black pepper.  
4. Preheat oil to medium high.
5. Spoon one tsp of cream cheese onto the corner of the spring roll wrap. Fold up the corner over the filling and then fold in the two sides.  
6. Add glue to the edges of the spring roll wrap and roll up completely.  (See photos above for a clearer explanation).  
7. Once all the rolls are wrapped, fry the rolls until they’re lightly golden in color.

Serve warm
