Best Wake Up Wonton Cups Recipes

CHEESY PEPPER JELLY WONTON CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Place one wonton wrapper over a mini muffin tin and gently press into the tin to create a "cup". You can also use a tart tamper to gently press the wonton cup into the muffin tin. Continue until you have 12 wonton wrapper cups in the pan.
• Mix together the cream cheese, jalapeno, scallion, ginger, garlic, pepper jelly, and a pinch of salt. Scoop the cream cheese and pepper jelly filling into the wonton cups, dividing evenly among the 12 cups. I generally fill them 3/4 full - if not all the way - because the cheese will melt down into the cups.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and wonton cups are golden brown. While wonton cups are baking, stir together cilantro, scallions, and cashews. Remove the baked cups from the muffin pan and set on a serving tray. Top with the cilantro mixture and serve warm.
• Serve with additional pepper jelly for an added bonus!

• In a small bowl, toss together the beans, green chiles, chili powder and lime juice. Spoon some of the bean mixture into each cup, about a heaping tablespoon each. Bake until the filling is warmed through, about 12 minutes. Remove the pan and top each cup with a pinch of cheese. Return the pan to the oven and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and the wontons are golden, another 5 minutes.
• For the toppings: Let the taco cups cool in the pan for a minute or two. Transfer the taco cups to a platter and top each with some avocado, pico de gallo, a small dollop of sour cream, hot sauce, if using, and cilantro.
