Jalapeño Popper Rangoon (Baked)

Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese – softened
  • 2 Jalapeños – seeded and diced
  • 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese – shredded
  • 1/2 Tsp Paprika
  • 4 Strips Crispy Bacon – chopped
  • Wonton Wrappers

Directions

  1. Place your cream cheese on the counter at least 3 to 4 hours before you plan to make the rangoon in order to soften. That will allow you to mix all of the ingredients together with just a spoon.
  2. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees (F).
  3. Add all of the ingredients, minus the wrappers, in a medium-sized bowl and mix well to combine.
  4. Lay out your wonton wrappers in batches. This recipe makes around 26 to 28.
  5. Place 1 Tbs (.5 oz) of the cream cheese mix in the middle of each wrapper.
  6. Fold each of the four corners up and pinch together at the center of the wrapper. If they are not staying together, you can wet your fingertip and wet the corners of the wrapper before pinching them together.
  7. Place the wrappers on a baking pan lined with aluminum foil.
  8. Spray the wrappers with cooking spray to help crisp the rangoon.
  9. Bake on the center rack for 15 to 18 minutes.
  10. Serve with your favorite ranch or sauce of your choosing. Enjoy!

Pepperoni Rangoon

Ingredients

  • 8oz Cream Cheese – room temperature
  • 1/2 Cup Pepperoni – chopped into small pieces
  • 1/4 Cup Mozzarella – shredded
  • 1 Tbs Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 Tsp Onion powder
  • 1 Package Wonton wrappers

Marinara

Directions

  1. Combine all of the ingredients, minus the wonton wrappers and Marinara, in a medium bowl. Stir to mix well.
  2. Lay out the wonton wrappers, the mix makes about 24 to 28 rangoons.
  3. Place about 1 Tbs of filling into the center of each wrapper.
  4. Fold each wrapper diagonally across to form a triangle and lightly pinch the ends together. Then, bring up the two opposite corners toward each other. Push out the air as you combine all four corners and pinch together tightly. Squeeze all four edges together.
  5. Spray the bottom of the air fryer with a light coating of oil. Load the rangoons into the air fryer and spray the tops lightly with oil. Cook at 370 degrees (F) for 9 to 10 minutes. Check at 8 minutes to ensure they are not burning.
  6. Remove from the air fryer and serve with marinara.

NOTE: If you want to use the oven, pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees (F) and line a baking pan with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with a light coating of oil, place the rangoon on the foil, and spray the tops lightly. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes.
