Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 medium Jalapenos (fresh, finely diced)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 24 sheets Wonton wrappers
- 1 large Egg (beaten for sealing edges)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, garlic powder, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well-incorporated.
Lay a single wonton wrapper on a clean work surface. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the jalapeno popper filling into the center of the wrapper.
Lightly brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with the beaten egg using a pastry brush. Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
For a more decorative look, take the two outer corners of the triangle and fold them towards each other, pinching to seal. Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet over medium heat to approximately 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, test by dropping a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle and bubble immediately.
Carefully fry the wontons in small batches, about 2-3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pot to maintain consistent oil temperature.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried wontons to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing or spicy mayo. Enjoy your Jalapeno Popper Wonton Puffs!
