Roadhouse Grill Cheese Wraps Secret Recipes

Roadhouse Grill was a chain of casual dining steakhouses in the eastern part of the United States founded in 1992. After filing for bankruptcy protection in late 2007, all twenty remaining locations were closed the week of May 12, 2008, as the company was forced into liquidation.

You'll find the original version of this delectable Roadhouse Grill signature item in the "starters" section of the menu. It's a variation on the popular fried cheese sticks appetizers with spicy jalapeno peppers in the middle, all wrapped in large spring roll wrappers before frying. The marinara sauce on the side is perfect for dipping this tasty cheesy tidbit. To save time -- and we all like that you can use any of your favorite marinara pasta sauces (such as Ragu) for dipping so you won't have to whip it up from scratch.

Roadhouse Grill Cheese Wraps Recipes

Ingredients :

• 8 thin slices monterey jack cheese
• 8 thin slices cheddar cheese
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh chives
• 4 large spring roll wrappers
• 1 beaten egg
• 6 to 10 cups vegetable oil
  

Instructions :

On the side Marinara (pasta) sauce. Slice the cheese real thin, add peppers and chives, roll it all up and give it a good squeeze before wrapping.

1. Use a sharp knife to make 8 thin slices each from the end of standard-size hunks of cheddar and monterey jack cheeses.
2. Arrange 2 slices of cheddar and 2 slices of jack on your hand, then sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of diced jalapeno 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.
3. Lay a spring roll wrapper with one corner pointing away from you. Arrange the cheese lengthwise on the center of the wrapper.
4. 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.
5. 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. Serves 2.
