# Directions:

In a mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped jalapeno peppers, green onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well incorporated.

Lay an eggroll wrapper on a clean work surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture diagonally across the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides toward the center and roll tightly to form a burrito shape. Seal the edges with water.

In a deep skillet or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 175°C (350°F).

Gently place the eggrolls seam side down into the hot oil. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
