Ingredients
1 cup chopped smoked brisket
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
10 egg roll wrappers
Oil for frying (about 3 cups for deep frying)
1/4 cup honey, for drizzling
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped brisket, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and chopped jalapeños until fully mixed.
2. Place one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling near the center.
3. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly, sealing the edge with a bit of water.
4. Repeat the process for the remaining wrappers.
5. Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
6. Fry egg rolls 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Use tongs to transfer fried rolls to a paper towel-lined tray to drain.
8. Drizzle warm honey over each roll before serving. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure the oil stays between 350°F–365°F to avoid soggy or burnt rolls.
For a spicier version, leave some jalapeño seeds in or add a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
You can freeze assembled egg rolls and fry them straight from the freezer with a few extra minutes of cook time.
