Hatch Chile Egg Rolls

Ingredients

6 Hatch Chiles, freshly roasted
1 lb Pork Sausage, sage flavored variety, ground
1 tsp Garlic Salt
1 tsp Ground Sage
1/4 cup Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup Grana Padano Cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Quesadilla Cheese, shredded
12 Wonton Wrappers
1 Egg
Cooking Oil, approximately 1/4″ deep in pan
Guacamole, for serving

Instructions

  1. Remove the skin from freshly roasted chiles. Dice the chiles into small pieces. If you are working with hot chiles remember to wear gloves. Tip: freeze the chiles (3 or 4 to a bag) after they are roasted and when you are ready to use, run the frozen chile under tap water and the skin will come off easily.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork. Add ground sage, garlic salt, and diced chiles. Once the pork is cooked through, set aside to cool.
  3. In a separate large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded Grana Padano, and shredded Asadero cheese. Mix well.
  4. Add ground pork and chile mixture to the cheese bowl and mix to completely combine.
  5. Beat one egg in a small bowl.
  6. Lay one egg roll skin on a surface and fill it with 2-3 tbsp of the pork and cheese mixture. Fold according to instructions on egg roll package, using the beaten egg to seal the edges.
  7. Heat the oil to 350° F and fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time, making sure not to crowd the pan. Turn the egg rolls occasionally to evenly brown all sides and cook for approximately 4 minutes each.
  8. Drain each batch on paper towels and serve with your favorite dip, Guacamole or salsa.
