Cheesesteak Eggroll Poppers
Welcome to your new favorite snack or party appetizer recipe! These Cheesesteak Eggroll Poppers are the perfect combination of savory, cheesy goodness with a crispy wonton shell. Using simple, accessible ingredients like frozen Steak-umm steaks, a creamy cheese mixture, and wonton wrappers, you’ll have a crowd-pleasing treat ready in no time. Let’s dive into the details!
Ingredients
• 3 frozen Steak-umm steaks
(or any frozen thin-sliced beef you have on hand)
• 1 medium/large white onion
(finely chopped for that perfect sweet and savory flavor)
• 1 block of cream cheese (8oz)
(softened, for a creamy, tangy base)
• 16oz of shredded cheese
(Provolone is highly recommended for that classic cheesesteak flavor, but feel free to mix in mozzarella or cheddar for variety.)
• 1 large container of wonton wrappers
(available at Wegmans or most grocery stores — typically in the refrigerated or frozen section.)
Instructions
1. Prep Your Ingredients
• Start by finely chopping the onion into small, uniform pieces. This will help it cook evenly and blend well with the filling.
• Take out your Steak-umm steaks and let them thaw for a few minutes for easier handling.
2. Cook the Filling
• Heat a large pan over medium heat.
• Add the chopped onions and sauté them until they’re soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
• Push the onions to the side of the pan and add the Steak-umm steaks one at a time. Cook according to the package instructions, breaking the steaks apart into smaller pieces as they brown. Combine the beef and onions once the steaks are fully cooked.
3. Mix the Cheesy Goodness
• Turn the heat down to low and add the block of cream cheese to the pan. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and evenly coats the beef and onions.
• Sprinkle in your shredded provolone (or cheese of choice) and stir until the mixture is gooey and well combined. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly — this will make it easier to fill the eggrolls.
4. Fill the Eggrolls
• Set up a workstation with your wonton wrappers, a small bowl of water, and the cooled filling.
• Place one wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
• Dip your finger in the water and lightly wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold it into your desired shape (here we are rolling them).
5. Cook the Eggrolls
• Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the wontons in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
• Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the eggrolls are golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serving Suggestions
• Serve these crispy Cheesesteak Eggroll Poppers with your favorite dipping sauce. A spicy mayo, garlic aioli, or even marinara sauce pairs beautifully with these.
• These are best enjoyed warm, but they can also be reheated in an air fryer or oven for a quick snack later.
Pro Tips
• Batch Cooking: Make a double batch of filling and freeze extras for a quick appetizer anytime.
• Customize It: Add a touch of Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce to the filling for extra flavor.
• Bake for a Healthier Option: If frying isn’t your style, brush the wontons lightly with oil and bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Enjoy these Cheesesteak Eggroll Poppers at your next gathering, or treat yourself to an indulgent snack that’s packed with flavor!
