Ingredients

• vegetable oil for frying
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup Shamrock Farms® Cottage Cheese
• ¼ cup diced jalapeno peppers, well drained
• 1 pound bacon, chopped and fried until crisp
• 21 egg roll wrappers

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine mozzarella cheese, Shamrock Farms Cottage Cheese, jalapenos, bacon, and garlic powder in a bowl and mix well.

Step 2

Place 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture in the middle of an egg roll wrapper. Pull the bottom 1/4 up over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll up. Wet the inside seam in order to make it stick. Repeat with remaining cheese mixture and egg roll wrappers.

Step 3

Heat oil to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C) in a large pot. You want enough oil to cover at least 3/4 of an egg roll when one is dropped in. Once the oil is hot, add in egg rolls 2 or 3 at a time, turning constantly so they brown evenly. Fry until deep golden brown and pull them as soon as they start to change to a louder frying sound, meaning the oil has reached the cheese. Serve hot.
