Tips:
- Choose the right sausage. Italian sausage is a popular choice, but you can use any type of sausage you like. Just make sure it's fully cooked before wrapping it in wonton wrappers.
- Season the sausage well. You can use a variety of seasonings to flavor the sausage, such as garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. You can also add some chopped fresh herbs, such as basil or oregano.
- Use wonton wrappers that are large enough to wrap around the sausage. You can find wonton wrappers in most grocery stores in the Asian food section.
- Be careful not to overfill the wonton wrappers. If you put too much sausage in each wrapper, it will be difficult to seal them properly.
- Seal the wonton wrappers tightly. You can use a fork to crimp the edges of the wrappers or you can use a wonton wrapper press.
- Cook the piggy poppers until they are golden brown. You can fry them, bake them, or air fry them. Just make sure they are cooked through before serving.
Conclusion:
Piggy poppers are a fun and easy appetizer that is perfect for parties or game day. They are also a great way to use up leftover sausage. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and crowd-pleasing snack that everyone will love.
