What You'll Need

→ For the Filling

01 1/2 pound ground sausage
02 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
03 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
04 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
05 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ For the Wontons

06 24 wonton wrappers
07 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

Let's Cook!

Step 01

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 02

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it's browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

Step 03

In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper.

Step 04

Place a wonton wrapper onto a clean, flat surface. Spoon about a teaspoon of the sausage mixture into the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a bit of water, then fold it over to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 05

Arrange the filled wontons on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the wontons lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy.

Step 06

Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Cook's Notes

  1. For a different twist, try using Italian sausage instead of regular ground sausage.
  2. Substitute the cheddar cheese with mozzarella for a gooey surprise.
  3. Add a dash of Italian seasoning to the filling for extra flavor.
  4. For a spicy kick, toss in some finely chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
