Italian Cheese Wontons Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a large baking sheet with a good amount of cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, pesto, peppers and mozzarella. Place wonton wrappers on prepared baking sheet so wontons become saturated with oil. Place 1 tablespoon ricotta mixture onto center of each wrapper. Dip a finger into water and use it to moisten edges of wrapper; fold over one corner of wrapper to make a triangle and press sides together to create a seal. (If desired, create decorative lines along edges of wontons by pressing tines of a fork along bottom edge of each wonton.) Bake until wontons are golden brown on edges and dough is just cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• In a frypan, cook sausage and onion, over medium heat until sausage is brown and onion is tender, stirring to break meat in small pieces; drain well, cool completely.
• Stir in mozzarella cheese, Parmesan and parsley.
• Place 1 rounded teaspoon of filling in wonton wrapper.
• Moisten edges of wrapper with water.
• Starting at one corner, fold the wrapper over filling, forming a triangle.
• Press to seal.
• Bring other two sides together.
• Cook in deep hot oil for 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix cream cheese, feta cheese, carrot, garlic powder, egg yolk, basil, and parsley together in a bowl.
• Place a wonton wrapper on a work surface and wet the corners of the wrapper with a moist finger. Spoon 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper; fold wrapper over the filling, sealing the edges shut. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Place wontons on a baking sheet and brush with soy sauce.
• Bake in the preheated oven until corners of wontons are brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• For the dipping sauce: Mix together the honey, soy sauce, Sriracha, vinegar and sesame oil in a small bowl and set aside.
• For the wontons: In the bowl of a mixer (or you can do it by hand), mix together the cream cheese, Sriracha and green onions until totally combined (scrape the mixer bowl if necessary). In a separate bowl, mix together the egg and 1/2 cup water.
• One at a time, assemble the wontons: Place approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on one corner of a wonton wrapper. Use your finger to "paint" the egg wash all around the edges of the wrapper. Roll the wrapper on a diagonal, starting with the cream cheese corner and stopping when half the wrapper is rolled and the cream cheese mixture is inside. Bring up the 2 ends and use the egg wash to stick them together. Allow the remaining pointed end to naturally tuck backward. (The wontons should resemble tortellini.) As you work, place the assembled wontons under plastic wrap or a light towel to keep them from drying out.
• Heat 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large saucepan or medium skillet until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers just under 350 degrees F. (You don't want the oil too hot or it will burn the wontons! Experiment with a spare sheet of wonton wrappers to check.)
• In batches of 4 or 5 at a time, fry the wontons for 45 seconds to 1 minute, flipping carefully midway through to make sure they brown evenly. Remove them when you think they still could stand to slightly brown a teeny bit more (because they will slightly brown in the seconds after you remove them from the pan!). Drain the wontons on a paper towel. Repeat with the remaining batches.
• It's best to wait 5 to 10 minutes before serving the wontons, as the cream cheese filling can be quite hot. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Cut each wonton skin in half into 2 triangles. On 2 large ungreased cookie sheets, arrange wonton skins in single layer. Spray wontons with cooking spray. Bake about 6 minutes or until crisp; cool.
• In food processor, place beans, Parmesan cheese and dressing. Cover; process until smooth. Spread mixture in ungreased 9-inch microwavable pie plate or quiche dish.
• Top with pepperoni, pepperoncini peppers, cheese blend and oregano. Cover with microwavable plastic wrap.
• Microwave on High 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, turning pan once halfway through cooking. Serve with crisp wontons.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Lay wonton wrappers on prepared baking sheet. Place 1 teaspoon cream cheese in the center of each wonton wrapper.
• Lightly brush edges of wonton wrappers with water and fold each wrapper in half to form a triangle. Press edges to seal. Fold the tips of each triangle up together so that they meet in above the center of the wonton and press tips together to seal. Spray assembled wontons with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until wontons are crispy and golden and the cream cheese is melted, 5 to 7 minutes.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cheese, herbs, garlic, salt and pepper. Beat egg and water., Place 1 tablespoon cheese mixture in the center of a wonton wrapper. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Fold bottom corner over filling. Fold sides toward center over filling. Moisten remaining corner with egg; roll up tightly to seal., In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry wontons, a few at a time, for 30-60 seconds on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Filling: In large skillet brown sausage and onion, breaking suasage into small pieces.
• Drain all fat from pan.

• Assembly: Place a rounded teaspoon of filling into one corner of wrapper.
• Moisten edges with water.
