→ For the Wontons
06 -
24 wonton wrappers
07 -
1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)
# Let's Cook!:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
02 -
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until it's browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
03 -
In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, grated Parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
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.
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.
06 -
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
# Cook's Notes:
01 -
For a different twist, try using Italian sausage instead of regular ground sausage.
02 -
Substitute the cheddar cheese with mozzarella for a gooey surprise.
03 -
Add a dash of Italian seasoning to the filling for extra flavor.
04 -
For a spicy kick, toss in some finely chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
