Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Ensure a creamy texture; be sure it's softened for easy mixing.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Gives a sharp and cheesy flavor; feel free to substitute with Mexican blend or pepper jack for a kick.
  • 2 cups Chopped Brisket This main protein brings savory depth; can be swapped for shredded chicken, pulled pork, or ground beef if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Diced Jalapeños Adds the perfect amount of heat; adjust to your spice tolerance or substitute with milder peppers for less kick.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Green Onions Provides freshness and a mild onion flavor; optional but adds a nice touch to the filling.
For the Wrapping
  • 10 pieces Egg Roll Wrappers Encases the delicious filling; choose gluten-free wrappers to keep it dietary-friendly.
For the Drizzle
  • 1/4 cup Honey This sweet topping beautifully enhances the savory flavors; don’t skip it for a balanced taste.

Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Deep pan or large skillet
  • Slotted spoon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped brisket, diced jalapeños, and optional chopped green onions. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix thoroughly until the filling is creamy and smooth, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Adjust the amount of jalapeños based on your heat preference to achieve the perfect flavor for your Texas Twinkies Egg Rolls with Honey.
  2. Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon about two tablespoons of the filling into the center, then fold the bottom corner over the filling. Tuck in the sides snugly, and roll it away from you, sealing the edges with a little water to ensure the filling stays tucked in. Repeat this process until all the filling is used to create delicious Texas Twinkies Egg Rolls.
  3. In a deep pan or large skillet, pour enough oil to submerge the egg rolls, about 2-3 inches deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To test if the oil is ready for frying, drop in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle immediately. This heating step is crucial to achieve that perfect golden brown, crispy exterior on your egg rolls.
  4. Carefully place a few Texas Twinkies Egg Rolls at a time into the hot oil without overcrowding the pan, as this can lower the temperature. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they turn a deep golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to ensure they don’t burn. Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  5. After frying all the egg rolls, it’s time for the final touch! Drizzle warm honey over the crispy Texas Twinkies Egg Rolls to enhance their savory flavors with a hint of sweetness. Serve them immediately while they’re still warm and crispy.
