Todd Wilbur's Top Secret Recipes


List of Ingredients

8 monterey jack cheese, thin slices
8 thin slices cheddar cheese
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded, diced
1 teaspoon minced fresh chives
4 large spring roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten
6 cups vegetable oil (to 10 cups)
Marinara (pasta) sauce, on the side


Recipe

Use a sharp knife to make 8 thin slices each from the end of standard-size hunks of cheddar and monterey jack cheeses.

Arrange 2 slices of cheddar and 2 slices of jack on your hand, then sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of diced jalapeño on top of the cheese. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of minced chives on next. Sandwich the peppers and chives between the cheese and roll it all up. Fold the cheese and squeeze it all together so that the peppers and chives are well sealed into the middle of the cheeses.

Lay a spring roll wrapper with one corner pointing away from you. Arrange the cheese lengthwise on the center of the wrapper. Fold one of the side corners over the cheese filling. Brush a little beaten egg on the tip of the other side corner and fold it over the first corner so that it sticks. Brush some beaten egg on the corner pointing away from you. Fold the bottom corner up and over the filling. Roll the wrapper up, keeping it tight, until it rolls over the top corner with the egg on it. It should stick. Repeat with the remaining rolls, then cover them all and chill for at least 30 minutes. This will be long enough to heat up the oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees.

When the oil is hot, fry the rolls for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes or until the outside is golden brown. Drain the rolls on a rack or paper towels for 2 minutes before serving with your favorite marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
