Preparation
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
