- 4 jalapeño peppers, seeded and diced
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 egg, beaten

Cooking Tips:
- Make sure to remove the seeds from the jalapeño peppers to reduce the heat level.
- Soften the cream cheese before mixing it with the other ingredients to ensure a smooth and creamy filling.
- Use a pastry brush to brush the beaten egg onto the egg roll wrappers to ensure they stick together when frying.
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced jalapeño peppers, softened cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.
2. Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface and spoon 2 tablespoons of the jalapeño popper filling onto the center of the wrapper.
3. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the wrapper tightly, sealing the edges with the beaten egg.
4. Repeat with the remaining egg roll wrappers and filling.
5. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F. Fry the egg rolls in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
