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.
  • ¼ cup Diced Jalapeños Adjust according to your spice preference.
  • ¼ cup Chopped Green Onions Can replace with shallots or omit for a simpler flavor.

For the Egg Rolls

  • 10 pieces Egg Roll Wrappers Swap for rice paper wrappers to make it gluten-free.

For the Sweet Drizzle

  • 3 tablespoon Honey Maple syrup or agave nectar are great alternatives.

Instructions
 

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.
