Ingredients
Scale
Wonton Cups
- 12 wonton wrappers
- Cooking spray
Filling
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 12 oz. bacon, cooked and crumbled (reserve 2 Tbsp.)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (reserve 2 Tbsp.)
- 3-4 jalapeños, seeded and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the wonton cups.
- Prepare muffin pan: Lightly spray a muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Bake wonton wrappers: Place one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup and bake for 10 minutes until they are lightly browned and crispy. Then, remove and let them cool slightly.
- Make filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, crumbled bacon (except the reserved 2 tablespoons), shredded cheddar cheese (except reserved 2 tablespoons), and chopped jalapeños. Mix well until creamy and evenly incorporated.
- Fill wonton cups: Spoon the jalapeño popper filling into each cooled wonton cup evenly.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the reserved bacon and cheddar cheese evenly over the filled cups.
- Bake again: Return the filled wonton cups to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the wontons are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Notes
- For extra spicy cups, leave some jalapeño seeds in when chopping.
- Use low-fat cream cheese and sour cream to reduce calories.
- Wonton wrappers can be found in the produce or refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
- Ensure the bacon is cooked crispy before crumbling for better texture.
- These can be prepared ahead to the filling step and baked just before serving.
