Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Substitute with Neufchâtel cheese for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Choose dairy-free cheese for a dairy-free dish.
  • 1 cup Chopped Brisket Feel free to use pulled pork or chicken instead.
  • 1/4 cup Diced Jalapeños Adjust according to your spice preference.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Green Onions Can replace with shallots or omit for a simpler flavor.
For the Egg Rolls

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • deep pan
  • fork or mixer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Blend the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped brisket, diced jalapeños, and green onions. Use a fork or mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Wrap the Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, and add a generous spoonful of your filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then tuck in the sides and roll tightly, sealing with a dab of water to hold it together.
  3. Heat the Oil: In a deep pan, heat oil to 350°F. You’ll know it’s ready when a dropped piece of bread sizzles immediately upon contact.
  4. Fry until Golden: Carefully add the egg rolls in batches, frying for 3-4 minutes on each side until they're golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels to reduce excess grease.
  5. Drizzle with Honey: While the egg rolls are warm, generously drizzle them with honey for a sweet touch that contrasts beautifully with the savory filling. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
