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 (remove more seeds for less spice)
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 sticking.
- Bake Wonton Wrappers: Place one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup and bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp.
- Cool Wonton Cups: Remove the wonton cups from the oven and allow them to cool slightly to handle safely.
- Make Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped jalapeños. Mix until well blended.
- Fill Wonton Cups: Spoon the cheese and jalapeño filling into each baked wonton cup evenly.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the reserved bacon and shredded cheddar cheese over the filled wonton cups for extra flavor and crunch.
- Bake Again: Return the filled wonton cups to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the wontons are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- For more spicy heat, leave some jalapeño seeds in the filling.
- Make sure cream cheese is softened to blend easily with the other ingredients.
- Bacon can be cooked ahead of time to save preparation time.
- If desired, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor and a healthier option.
- Wonton wrappers can be found in the produce or refrigerated sections of most grocery stores.
- These can be made ahead, assembled, and baked just before serving to keep them crispy.
