Ingredients:
16 ounces of your favorite sausage (we love using breakfast sausage)
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1/4 cup finely diced roasted red peppers (jarred variety works great)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2/3 cup ranch dressing
1 package of wonton wrappers, brought to room temperature
1 tablespoon of cooking oil
Preparation:
Prepare the Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 24-cup mini-muffin tin with non-stick spray.
Bake the Wonton Wrappers: Press a wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, shaping it into a cup. Bake for 5 minutes until the edges are lightly browned, then remove from the oven.
Cook the Sausage: In a skillet, heat the oil and cook the sausage until browned. Drain any excess grease.
Add the Flavors: Toss in the diced red peppers and a splash of their juice, cook briefly with the sausage. Stir in ranch dressing and cheese, then let the mixture cool.
Assemble the Bites: Spoon the sausage mixture into the wonton cups. Feel free to sprinkle extra cheese or seasoning for added flavor.
Final Bake: Return to the oven and bake for 8 minutes, or until the wontons are golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Let the bites cool slightly, and transfer to paper towels if necessary to absorb excess oil.
Indulge in these Sausage & Cheese Wonton Bites straight from the muffin tin and treat your guests to an unforgettable appetizer experience. With each bite, they’ll savor the unique blend of flavors and textures, making your gathering a memorable culinary event!
