Prepare the Filling
- In a bowl, mix goat cheese, cream cheese, jalapeños, honey (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed—add extra jalapeño for more heat or a touch more honey for balance.
Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface, with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape).
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the lower third of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly.
- Brush the top corner with beaten egg to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers.

- Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Serve & Enjoy
