Jalapeño Popper Wonton Cups


  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 12 wonton cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • 2 fresh jalapeños, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 strips turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (for garnish)
  • Cooking spray (for greasing the muffin tin)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent the wonton wrappers from sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Wonton Cups

Take each wonton wrapper and gently press it into the muffin tin, forming small cups. Make sure the edges are slightly overhanging to create a sturdy base for the filling. Bake the empty wonton cups for 5 minutes until they start to crisp up slightly. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 3: Mix the Filling

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Add the Flavor Boosters

Mix in the diced jalapeños, crumbled turkey bacon, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Stir well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 5: Fill the Wonton Cups

Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, carefully distribute the filling into each pre-baked wonton cup. Fill them generously, as the cheese mixture will melt and settle slightly during baking.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Return the filled wonton cups to the oven and bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges of the wontons are golden brown.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Remove the wonton cups from the oven and let them cool for about 2 minutes. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh burst of flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!
