Description
Jalapeno Popper Wonton Cups are crispy, bite-sized appetizers filled with creamy cream cheese, smoky bacon, cheddar, fresh jalapeños, and green onions. Perfect for parties, game days, and gatherings, these savory cups combine crunchy wonton wrappers with a rich, cheesy filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 sheets wonton wrapper
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 4 ounces bacon (cooked and finely chopped; reserve about 2 tablespoons)
- 2 ounces cheddar (grated, about ½ cup; reserve about 2 tablespoons)
- 3 jalapeño peppers (deseeded and finely chopped; reserve about 2 tablespoons)
- 2 stalks green onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons milk (or cream)
- Oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
- Lightly grease a muffin pan with oil. Place one wonton wrapper into each of 12 muffin cavities, gently pressing each wrapper into a cup shape.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cooked and finely chopped bacon, grated cheddar, finely chopped jalapeños, and sliced green onions.
- Add the milk or cream and mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated and the filling is creamy.
- Divide the filling evenly among the prepared wonton wrappers, leaving enough room to keep the mixture inside each cup.
- Sprinkle the reserved bacon, cheddar, and chopped jalapeños over the filled cups.
- Bake according to the original recipe’s oven temperature and timing until the wonton wrappers are golden and crisp and the filling is hot and set. The original baking temperature and duration were not supplied.
- Allow the cups to cool briefly before carefully removing them from the muffin pan. Serve warm.
Notes
- Soften the cream cheese before mixing for a smoother filling.
- Remove the jalapeño seeds carefully to help reduce the heat.
- For the best texture, assemble and bake the cups close to serving time.
