Ingredients

• ▢12 sheets wonton wrapper
• ▢8 ounces cream cheese softened
• ▢4 ounces bacon cooked and finely chopped (reserve about 2 TBSP)
• ▢2 ounces cheddar grated (about ½ cup; reserve about 2 TBSP)
• ▢3 jalapeño pepper deseeded and finely chopped (reserve about 2 TBSP)
• ▢2 stalks green onion thinly sliced
• ▢2 tablespoons milk or cream
• ▢Oil for greasing the pan

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a cupcake pan with oil or cooking spray.
2. Press a sheet of wonton wrapper into each cupcake cup. To make the wontons extra crispy, lightly spray the inside of each wonton cup with some cooking spray.
3. When the oven is ready, bake the wonton cups for 6 to 8 minutes or until the edges starts to turn golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and decrease the oven temperature to 350°F.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar, bacon, jalapeño, green onion, and milk. Mix until well combined.
5. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion the cream cheese filling mixture into each wonton cup. Top each cup with some reserved bacon, cheddar, and jalapeño.
6. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the filling is hot and the cheddar on top is melted. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before removing.
7. Enjoy while warm!
