Description
Savory mini cups made with crispy wonton wrappers, filled with seasoned sausage, melted cheese and ranch‑creaminess—perfect for parties or game‑day snacking.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (≈450 g) ground breakfast or Italian sausage
- 1 package (≈12 oz) wonton wrappers
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or Mexican blend)
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- Optional garnish: chopped green onions or sliced jalapeños
Instructions
- Pre‑heat oven to 350 °F (≈175 °C). Lightly spray a mini‑muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Place one wonton wrapper in each mini muffin cup, gently pressing into the bottom and up the sides so it forms a little “cup.”
- Bake the empty wonton cups for about 5 minutes (just until the edges start to lightly brown). Remove and set aside.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up, until fully cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, both cheeses and the ranch dressing until well mixed.
- Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of the filling into each prebaked wonton cup, pressing lightly so it’s nestled in.
- Return the filled cups to the oven and bake another 7 ‑ 10 minutes (or until filling is hot, cheese is melted and wonton edges are golden‑crisp). Keep an eye so they don’t burn.
- Remove from oven, let them rest a minute in the tin, then transfer to a platter. Garnish with green onions or jalapeños if using. Serve warm.
