Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Wonton wrappers (about 24 pieces)
  • 1 pound ground pork sausage (or your favorite variety)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage Filling: Cook the ground sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart as it browns evenly. Once fully cooked, drain any excess grease. Season the sausage with garlic powder, black pepper, and chopped green onions to enhance the flavor.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Wonton Cups: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin. Gently press wonton wrappers into each muffin cup, forming little shells ready to hold the filling.
  3. Fill the Wonton Cups: Spoon the cooked sausage mixture into each wonton shell, filling them nearly to the top but not overflowing. Top each with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese to create a melty finish.
  4. Bake Until Golden and Crisp: Bake the filled wonton cups for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Watch closely near the end to avoid burning.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the wonton cups to cool slightly in the pan. Carefully remove them using a spoon or knife and serve warm for the best crispy texture and gooey cheese experience.

Notes

  • Use room temperature wonton wrappers to prevent cracking when shaping.
  • Do not overfill the wonton cups to avoid spilling during baking.
  • Grease the muffin tin well to ensure easy removal of wonton cups.
  • Experiment with different sausage varieties like spicy or sweet for flavor variations.
  • Let the cups cool slightly before serving to help the cheese set and the cups hold together better.
