If you like fried wontons, crispy egg rolls, or crunchy knishes, you're gonna love the crisp you get in every bite of these Jalapeno Cheese Turnovers.
What You'll Need
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
- 1 jalapeno pepper, stem and seeds removed, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (6-ounce) package wonton wrappers, thawed if frozen
- Cooking spray
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a 10- x 15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, jalapeno, and Parmesan cheese; mix well.
- Place one wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Dip your fingers in a small bowl of water and moisten edges of wonton. Place 1 tablespoon cheese mixture in center of wonton and fold diagonally to form a triangle. Turn wonton over and seal edges firmly with your fingers.
- Place turnover on prepared baking sheet . Continue with remaining cheese mixture and wontons. Spray tops of turnovers lightly with cooking spray and bake 6 to 7 minutes, or until golden and edges are crispy. Serve immediately.
Notes
- While filling the turnovers, be sure to keep the rest of the wonton wrappers covered with a damp paper towel so they won't dry out. Then wrap any remaining wonton wrappers in plastic wrap and reserve for future use.
- Serve these with some warm jalapeno jelly -- it's perfect as a dipping sauce. Why, you can even make your own.
