Ingredients
Scale
Wonton Cups
- 12 wonton wrappers
- Cooking spray
Filling
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 12 oz. bacon, cooked and crumbled (reserve 2 tablespoons)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 2 tablespoons)
- 3-4 jalapeños, seeded and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the wonton cups.
- Prepare Muffin Pan: Spray a muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent the wonton wrappers from sticking during baking.
- Bake Wonton Wrappers: Place one wonton wrapper in each muffin cup, then bake for 10 minutes or until they are lightly browned and crisp.
- Cool Wonton Cups: Remove the baked wonton cups from the oven and allow them to cool slightly to handle safely.
- Mix Filling Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped jalapeños. Stir thoroughly until well mixed.
- Fill Wonton Cups: Spoon the prepared filling evenly into each of the cooled wonton cups.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the reserved bacon and cheddar cheese evenly over the filled wonton cups for added flavor and texture.
- Bake Filled Cups: Return the filled wonton cups to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the wontons are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- For extra spice, leave some jalapeño seeds in the filling.
- Use low-fat cream cheese and sour cream to reduce calories if desired.
- Ensure bacon is cooked and crumbled evenly for consistent flavor in each cup.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack for a milder taste.
- Serve warm for best texture and flavor.
