Jalapeno Popper Wonton Cups are a quick and easy appetizer combining spicy jalapenos, creamy cheeses, and crispy wonton wrappers. These handheld, mess-free bites deliver a perfect balance of heat and creaminess, making them an irresistible snack or party favorite that can be customized to suit your taste.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Wonton Wrappers – thin, crispy shells
  • Fresh Jalapenos – diced, seeds optional for heat control
  • Cream Cheese – softened
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • Bacon Bits (optional) – cooked and crumbled
  • Garlic Powder
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Filling: Finely dice the fresh jalapenos, removing seeds if you prefer less heat. In a bowl, combine the diced jalapenos with softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked and crumbled bacon (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
  2. Shape the Wonton Cups: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin. Gently press each wonton wrapper into the muffin cavities, forming them into cup shapes for a crispy shell to hold the filling.
  3. Fill and Bake: Spoon the jalapeno popper mixture into each wonton cup, filling generously but leaving some space at the top to prevent overflow. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the wonton edges are golden and the cheese mixture is bubbly.
  4. Cool and Serve: Allow the wonton cups to cool a few minutes so they set and won’t burn your fingers. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the wonton cups to avoid spillage during baking.
  • Use fresh jalapenos for the best flavor and crunch; remove seeds to reduce heat.
  • Lightly grease the muffin tin for easy release of wonton cups.
  • Let cream cheese soften to ensure a smooth, even filling mixture.
  • Allow cups to cool slightly before removing them from the pan to maintain shape.
