Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 12 cups
Ingredients
- 1 package of wonton wrappers
- 1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your Bacon Alfredo Cheese Cups bake evenly and come out perfectly crispy.
- Prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil. This will help prevent the wonton wrappers from sticking.
- Take the package of wonton wrappers and gently press each wrapper into the greased muffin tin, forming a cup shape. Make sure the edges of the wrappers are slightly above the rim of the tin to hold the filling.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped cooked bacon, Alfredo sauce, shredded Parmesan cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Using a spoon, carefully fill each wonton cup with the bacon and Alfredo mixture, being careful not to overfill them.
- Once all the cups are filled, place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy.
- After baking, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the cups to cool for a few minutes. This will make it easier to remove them from the tin.
- Using a small spatula or a butter knife, gently lift each Bacon Alfredo Cheese Cup out of the muffin tin and place them on a serving platter.
- For an extra touch, you can sprinkle additional chopped green onions or extra Parmesan cheese on top of the cups before serving.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or a party snack, and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!
Tips
- Use fresh wonton wrappers and ensure they're at room temperature for easier molding
- Don't overfill the cups - this prevents soggy bottoms and ensures crispy edges
- For extra crispiness, spray the wonton wrappers lightly with cooking spray before baking
- Let the cups cool for 2-3 minutes after baking to help them set and make removal easier
- For a gourmet touch, use high-quality, thick-cut bacon and freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- These cups can be prepared ahead of time and quickly reheated in the oven just before serving
