Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound ground sausage
  • 1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg beaten (for sealing wontons)
  • Cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cook the sausage: In a medium skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until fully browned. Drain any excess grease and let cool slightly.
  • Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded Pepper Jack cheese, green onions, red bell pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.
  • Assemble the wontons: Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture into the center. Brush the edges of the wrapper lightly with beaten egg, bring the corners together, and press the edges tightly to form a pouch. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
  • Bake the wontons: Arrange the wontons on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve: Let the wontons cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces like marinara, ranch, or sriracha mayo.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, replace the sausage with finely chopped vegetables or tofu. To add more heat, mix in chopped jalapeños. Freeze assembled wontons before baking for a convenient, make-ahead appetizer.
