Ingredients
- 1 pack Cremini mushrooms, cleaned and diced
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 4-5 garlic cloves, finely diced
- 1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 250 g cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup grated parmesan
- 1 lb sausage meat or ground pork
Instructions
- Sauté the Sausage: Start by cooking the sausage or pork meat in a pan over medium heat. Break it up into crumbles as it cooks until browned and cooked through. Set aside to cool.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pan, add a little oil and sauté the garlic, diced onions, and mushrooms until softened and fragrant. This step brings out the deep flavors of the mushrooms while infusing the onions and garlic with savory goodness.
- Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, cooked sausage, cream cheese, grated parmesan, chopped parsley, and bread crumbs. Stir everything together until the mixture is well-combined and creamy.
- Prepare the Wonton Cups: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin and gently press wonton wrappers into each cup. Bake the wrappers for 5 minutes to get them crispy and golden brown.
- Stuff the Wonton Cups: Once the wonton cups have baked, remove them from the oven and carefully spoon the prepared filling into each cup, packing it down gently.
- Final Bake: Return the filled wonton cups to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the tops are golden and the filling is bubbling.
- Serve & Enjoy: Let the cups cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra chopped parsley or a sprinkle of parmesan if desired.
- Tips:You can swap out the sausage with ground turkey or chicken if you prefer a leaner option.For an extra rich flavor, drizzle the finished wonton cups with a balsamic glaze.These can be made ahead of time! Simply assemble the wontons, refrigerate, and bake when ready to serve.
