Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage beef breakfast sausage or any sausage of your choice
  • 1 ½ cups Monterey cheese grated
  • 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese grated
  • 1 red bell pepper finely chopped
  • 1 medium jalapeno seeded and finely chopped
  • ⅓ cup black olives finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ranch salad dressing mix or to taste
  • 48 wonton wrappers store bought
  • ½ cup green onion chopped
  • oil spray

Instructions

  • Using a skillet cook sausage until no longer pink, breaking it apart into tiny pieces with a wooden spoon, about 7-10 minutes. Drain.
    sauteed sausage
  • Return the meat back into the skillet and add cheese, peppers, olives and dressing seasoning. Give a good mix and set aside.
    meat filling
  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray muffin pan with oil and wontons over the top, bake for 5 minutes or until golden color.
    wonton cups
  • Place wonton cups onto a baking sheet, add the filling about 1-2 spoons, bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese melts and meat is heated thru.
    Wonton Wrapper Appetizer
  • Garnish with green onion. Enjoy while warm!

Notes

  • Don’t skip pre-baking the wonton wrappers. Giving them a quick bake before adding the filling helps them stay nice and crispy instead of soft or soggy.
  • Make sure the sausage is well drained. Too much grease can make the wonton cups heavy. Draining the sausage keeps the filling creamy and the edges crunchy.
  • A little filling goes a long way. Overfilling can cause spills and uneven baking. A small scoop is just right for perfectly melted cheese and clean edges.
  • Chop everything small. Finely diced veggies mix better with the sausage and cheese, giving you great flavor in every single bite.
  • Serve them warm for the best crunch. These sausage wonton cups are at their best fresh from the oven. If reheating, use the oven or air fryer to bring the crispiness back.
