Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound (226 grams) ground sausage
- 1 cup (113 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
- 24 wonton wrappers
Cheese and Seasoning:
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup (15 grams) finely chopped green onions
Cooking Preparation:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil or melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F, ensuring a hot environment for crispy texture.
- In a skillet over medium heat, thoroughly cook the sausage until golden brown and fragrant, then meticulously drain excess fat to prevent sogginess.
- Combine the cooked sausage with cheddar, green onions, Parmesan, and black pepper in a mixing bowl, stirring until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Lay a wonton wrapper flat, carefully place a teaspoon of filling in the center without overfilling. Lightly moisten wrapper edges with water, fold into a triangle, and firmly seal the edges.
- Arrange filled wontons on a parchment-lined baking sheet, generously brush with olive oil or melted butter. Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching closely for a golden-brown, crispy appearance.
- Allow wontons to cool for a few minutes before serving to prevent mouth burns and ensure optimal eating temperature.
Notes
- Drain sausage thoroughly to prevent soggy wontons, ensuring a crisp and light texture that enhances the overall bite.
- Freeze assembled uncooked wontons for quick future appetizers, storing them in a sealed container up to one month for convenient entertaining.
- Consider gluten-free alternatives by using rice paper wrappers or replacing wonton wrappers with thin sliced zucchini for low-carb dietary needs.
