Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • Wonton wrappers (about 24)

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2–3 fresh jalapenos, finely diced (seeds removed for milder heat)
  • 2 green onions, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup bacon bits (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Finely dice fresh jalapenos and green onions. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, green onions, bacon bits (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy with ingredients evenly distributed.
  2. Assemble the wonton cups: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin. Gently press each wonton wrapper into the muffin cups, forming a cup shape without tearing. Spoon a generous amount of filling into each wrapper, filling to the top without overflowing.
  3. Bake until golden and bubbly: Place the filled muffin tin into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden and crispy, and the cheese filling is melted and bubbly.
  4. Cool and serve: Let the cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing carefully. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, even filling.
  • Do not overfill the wonton cups to avoid spilling during baking.
  • Handle wonton wrappers gently to avoid tearing.
  • Adjust jalapeno heat level by removing seeds or adding more depending on taste.
  • Watch baking time carefully to prevent burning the wonton shells.
