Ingredients
- 1 pound smoked brisket, chopped
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup pickled jalapeños, diced
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Honey, for drizzling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix chopped brisket, cream cheese, diced jalapeños, and barbecue sauce until well combined.
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Add 2–3 tablespoons of filling near the center, closer to the bottom corner.
- Fold the side corners inward, then roll the bottom corner over the filling. Roll tightly and seal the edge.
- Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry egg rolls in small batches for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Drizzle warm egg rolls with honey and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use fewer jalapeños or substitute with red peppers to reduce heat.
- Bake at 400°F for 15–20 minutes for a lighter version.
- Air fry at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Prepare filling up to 24 hours in advance for convenience.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven to retain crispness.
