Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup (2.5 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled or diced, cooked bacon 3-4 slices
- 3-4 jalapenos seeded and diced
- 3 tbsp green onions sliced
- 1 clove garlic crushed
- 24 wonton wrappers
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Spray two 12-cavity mini-muffin tins or one 24-cavity mini-muffin tin with non-stick spray.
- Separate the wonton wrappers and press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cavity. Set aside.
- In a medium size bowl, mix the cream cheese, shredded cheese, diced bacon, diced jalapenos, green onions, and crushed garlic until well combined.
- Scoop approximately one tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into each wonton wrapper.
- Place the muffin tins on the center rack of the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the wontons are golden and crispy and the filling is hot and melted.
- Remove from the oven and allow the wontons to cool for a few minutes to make them easier to handle, then remove from the muffin tins and move to a serving platter.
- Garnish, if desired, with sliced jalapenos, diced bacon, or green onion.
Notes
You can use as many jalapenos as you like, depending on your desired heat. I use 3-4 jalapenos which usually equals about 1/3 cup diced.
For a spicier filling, leave the seeds in the jalapenos rather than removing them.
