Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1/2 pound ground sausage (spicy, sweet, or classic)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese blend)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage Filling: Cook the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned and no longer pink. Break it apart with a spatula to avoid clumps. Drain any excess fat and stir in garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Preheat Your Oven: While the sausage cools, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure the wonton wrappers crisp evenly without burning.
  3. Assemble the Wonton Cups: Lightly grease a mini muffin tin. Gently press each wonton wrapper into a muffin cavity to form a cup. Spoon a small amount of sausage into each wrapper, then top generously with shredded cheese and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
  4. Bake Until Golden and Melty: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the wonton edges turn golden brown and the cheese melts perfectly. Watch closely to prevent over-browning.
  5. Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the wonton cups using a small spoon or knife. Let them cool for a few minutes so the filling firms slightly for the perfect bite before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the wonton cups to prevent spills and ensure they hold together.
  • Use fresh wonton wrappers for best crispiness; thaw frozen wrappers completely before use.
  • Grease the mini muffin tin well to avoid sticking and aid easy removal.
  • Allow the cups to cool briefly before removing from the tin to keep them intact.
  • Try mixing different cheeses for added flavor complexity and meltiness.
