Ingredients
- Wonton wrappers
- Cream cheese
- Shredded cheese (blend of cheddar and pepper jack)
- Fresh jalapenos
- Bacon (optional)
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray. Gently press a wonton wrapper into each cup, making sure to form a little cup shape.
- Bake the wonton wrappers for about 5-7 minutes until they become slightly golden and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheeses, diced jalapenos, cooked bacon (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix everything until well combined.
- Remove the wonton cups from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Then, spoon the jalapeno popper filling into each cup, filling them generously.
- Place the filled cups back in the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the filling is hot and bubbly, and the tops are slightly golden.
- Once out of the oven, let them cool slightly. You can sprinkle some additional chopped jalapenos or green onions on top for a fresh touch.
- Enjoy these warm as a delightful appetizer or snack!
