A quick and easy baked snack combining the spicy kick of jalapeño poppers with the crispy crunch of wontons, filled with creamy cheese and baked to golden perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Wonton wrappers
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 medium jalapeños, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, finely sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Optional: bacon bits (a couple tablespoons)
  • Optional: hot sauce or sriracha
  • Optional: gluten-free wonton wrappers

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped jalapeños, green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well blended.
  3. Lay out wonton wrappers on a clean surface and cover with a damp towel to prevent drying.
  4. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with beaten egg using a brush or finger.
  5. Fold wonton in half diagonally to form a triangle and press edges firmly to seal. Optionally, press edges with a fork for extra security.
  6. Arrange filled wontons on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  7. Lightly brush the tops of wontons with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until wontons are puffed and golden brown. Start checking at 10 minutes to avoid burning.
  9. Let wontons cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not overfill wontons to prevent leaking. Keep wrappers covered with a damp towel to avoid drying out. Chill filling before assembling to reduce moisture. For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes after baking but watch closely to avoid burning. Can be air fried at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
