Method

  1. Cook the noodles in salted water until they are al dente. Set them aside.

  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter until it is hot. Then add the flour and cook while whisking until it turns a light blonde color.

  3. Add milk to the roux and whisk until it is well combined. Then add the Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, along with garlic powder and onion powder.

  4. Combine the sauce with the macaroni and season with salt and pepper.

  5. Take a wonton wrapper and place 2 tablespoons of macaroni on it. Fold in the sides and roll it up, sealing it shut with some egg wash.

  6. In a Dutch oven, heat several inches of oil until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer.

  7. Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning them occasionally to ensure even browning. They should become golden brown and crispy in about 4 to 5 minutes.

  8. Place the fried egg rolls on paper towels and sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

  9. Cut the egg rolls in half and garnish them with chives and additional smoked paprika.
