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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried wontons to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing or spicy mayo. Enjoy your Jalapeno Popper Wonton Puffs!
