Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Pork Breakfast Sausage
  • 1/2 tsp. Ground Cumin
  • Pinch of Ground Cayenne Pepper (adjust for desired spice level)
  • 1 1/4 cups Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese (or Pepper Jack for a spicier filling), divided
  • 1/2 cup Cream Cheese
  • 24 Wonton Wrappers
  • Cooking Spray
  • Optional Garnish: Thinly sliced green onions or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a medium skillet, crumble the sausage and sprinkle with cumin and cayenne pepper. Cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula.
  3. Mix in Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the cream cheese and 1 cup of shredded cheddar (or pepper jack cheese).
  4. Prepare the Wonton Cups: Lightly spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Gently press the wonton wrappers into the tin to form cups, leaving enough opening for the filling.
  5. Fill the Cups: Divide the sausage mixture evenly among the wonton cups. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.
  6. Bake: Lightly spray the cups with cooking spray, then bake for 10 minutes or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and optionally garnish with thinly sliced green onions or parsley. Serve hot.
