Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pork breakfast sausage
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Pinch of ground cayenne pepper
  • 1 ¼ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese or pepper jack cheese divided
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • Cooking spray
  • Optional garnish: chopped green onions or parsley

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart as it browns. Add cumin and cayenne for extra flavor.
  3. Mix in the cheeses by reducing the heat to low and stirring in the cream cheese and 1 cup of shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese until smooth. Remove from heat.
  4. Prepare the wonton cups by lightly spraying a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Press a wonton wrapper into each cup, ensuring it forms a small bowl shape. Lightly spray the wrappers to help them crisp up.
  5. Fill each wonton cup with the sausage and cheese mixture, then sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Let cool slightly, then garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: You can prepare the sausage filling up to 2 days in advance and store it in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
  • Freezing Tip: Freeze the baked wonton cups in a single layer, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container. Reheat at 375°F until warmed through.
  • Customization: Try swapping out the sausage for chorizo, adding diced jalapeños for a spicy kick, or using different cheeses for a unique twist.
