A cheesy filling gives wonton wrappers a taste-tempting, Italian twist. The hot and crisp snacks get gobbled up...no matter how many I make!—Barbara Pletzke, Herndon, Virginia
Ingredients:
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded italian cheese blend
1 carton (15 ounces) ricotta cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
40 wonton wrappers
oil for deep-fat frying
marinara or spaghetti sauce, warmed
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients.
2. Position a wonton wrapper with one point toward you. (Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp paper towel until ready to use.) Place 1 tablespoon filling in the center of wrapper. Fold bottom corner over filling; fold sides toward center over filling. Roll toward the remaining point. Moisten top corner with water; press to seal. Repeat. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3. In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°.
4. Fry wontons, a few at a time, for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with marinara. Yield: 40 wontons.
