I followed this recipe for jalapeno popper wontons from Cathy at Lemon Tree Dwelling; however, I tweaked it a little. I decided to use a smaller cupcake pan , this way the wontons would be bite sized rather than a size for a regular cupcake. I also believed that the left overs would be less soggy if they had less product, this is another reason that the smaller pan is a good idea in my opinion. In addition, I added some parsley and some green onions (both optional).
INGREDIENTS
24 wonton wrappers
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
½ c. sour cream
3 green onions chopped
12 oz. bacon, cooked & crumbled (reserve 2 Tbsp.)
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 2 Tbsp.)
3-4 jalapeños, seeded and chopped
2 tbsp parsley
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray muffin pan with cooking spray.
Place one wonton wrapper in each muffin cup; bake 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
While wontons wrappers are in the oven go ahead and chop up your jalapenos and green onions. I know the recipe called for 3-4 jalapenos; although, I pulled these jalapenos from my garden and they were on the smaller side.
Remove from oven and cool slightly.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together cream cheese, sour cream, bacon, cheddar cheese, parsley, and chopped jalapeños.
Spoon filling into wonton cups, then sprinkle with reserved bacon and cheese.
Return to oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, until wontons are golden brown and cheese is melted.
Top with green onions!
