These savory sausage and cheese cups are a delightful appetizer, perfect for gatherings or as a snack.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and crispiness.
Cook the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, diced red bell pepper, chopped green onion, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and light sour cream.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Place a wonton wrapper into each cup, pressing gently to form a cup shape.
Ensure the wrappers are pressed firmly to avoid collapsing during baking.
Bake the wonton wrappers in the oven for 5 minutes to lightly crisp them.
This step helps maintain the crispiness of the cups after adding the filling.
Spoon the sausage mixture into each wonton cup, filling them generously.
Avoid overfilling to prevent spillage during baking.
Bake the filled wonton cups in the oven for 10 minutes or until the filling is hot and the edges of the wrappers are golden brown.
Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even browning.
Remove the wonton cups from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
