Ingredients
Scale
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1 lb ground pork sausage
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar
- ½ cup Monterey Jack
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp green onions, sliced
- Cooking spray, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Brown sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, 6–8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and cool slightly.
- Combine sausage, cream cheese, both cheeses, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and green onions. Mix well.
- Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, folding the edges up to form a small bowl.
- Spoon 1–1½ tbsp of filling into each cup. Bake 12–15 minutes until edges are golden and cheese is bubbly.
- Rest in pan 3–5 minutes. Garnish with extra green onions and serve warm.
Notes
Pro tip: Drain sausage well before mixing — excess grease makes the wonton shells soggy. Cream cheese should be room temperature for a smooth, even filling.
