# Ingredients:

→ Egg Rolls

01 - 12 egg roll wrappers
02 - 2 cups smoked brisket, finely chopped
03 - 225 grams cream cheese, softened
04 - 4 jalapeños, diced
05 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese or pepper jack cheese
06 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
07 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
08 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
09 - 1 egg, beaten
10 - Vegetable oil for deep frying
11 - Salt, to taste
12 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Spicy Honey

13 - 120 millilitres honey
14 - 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced

# Instructions:

01 - Combine smoked brisket, cream cheese, shredded cheese, diced jalapeños, garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until homogenous.
02 - Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner pointing towards you. Place 2 tablespoons of filling in the centre. Fold the corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Brush the edge with beaten egg to seal.
03 - Pour oil into a deep pot or fryer and heat to 175°C (350°F).
04 - Fry assembled egg rolls in small batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
05 - Combine honey and sliced jalapeño in a small saucepan. Warm gently over low heat for 5 minutes to infuse flavours; do not boil.
06 - Arrange hot egg rolls on a platter. Drizzle with infused spicy honey and serve immediately alongside ranch or barbecue dipping sauce if desired.

# Notes:

01 - Chop brisket finely for even distribution in each egg roll. Ensure oil is fully heated before frying to achieve a crisp exterior.
