Ingredients

Scale

For the filling:

  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2–3 jalapeños, finely diced (adjust for spice level)
  • 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the wontons:

  • 20 wonton wrappers
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for sealing)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For garnish:

  • Chopped green onions or cilantro (optional)
  • Dipping sauce (ranch or sweet chili sauce recommended)

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, bacon (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

2. Assemble the wontons

  1. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface.
  2. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
  3. Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with the beaten egg.
  4. Fold the wrapper into a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. For an extra secure seal, fold the corners together to create a “purse” shape.

3. Fry the wontons

  1. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fry the wontons in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot, for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Remove the wontons with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

4. Serve

  • Arrange the wontons on a platter, garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Baking option: Brush the assembled wontons with oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  • Air fryer option: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Spice level: For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños.
