Prep the Filling
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded pepper jack cheese, crumbled bacon, diced jalapenos, and chopped green onions until well combined.
  2. Season the mixture with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly distributed.
Wrap the Egg Rolls
  1. Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing towards you (diamond shape).
  2. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling horizontally across the center of the wrapper, leaving 1.5 inches open on the sides.
  3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold the left and right corners inward. Roll tightly upwards, moisten the edges with egg wash, and seal.
  4. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Air Fry
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the egg rolls in the basket, spaced apart. Spray lightly with olive oil.
  3. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flip, spray the other side, and cook another 4-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Remove and let cool briefly before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure egg rolls are not overcrowded. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes. Freeze assembled egg rolls before cooking for up to 2 months; cook from frozen at 350°F for 15-20 minutes.
