Ingredients

• 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3 pieces Jalapeno peppers
• 0.5 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Spray a 12-cup muffin tin lightly with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 3

Place one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, pressing it to form a cup shape. Add a second wonton wrapper, rotated slightly, to reinforce the cup.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Dice the jalapeno peppers finely, removing seeds if you prefer less heat. Stir the diced jalapenos and crumbled bacon into the cheese mixture.

Step 6

Spoon approximately 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the cheese mixture into each wonton cup, filling them evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are crispy and golden brown and the filling is bubbly and slightly browned on top.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the jalapeno popper cups cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the pan.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
