Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) package Jimmy Dean® Premium Pork Regular Sausage
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
4 ounces garden vegetable cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper
¼ cup finely chopped green onion
2 (8 ounce) packages crescent roll sheets

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  • Cool for 5 minutes in the tins before removing to a platter.

SAVORY CHEESE & ONION APPETIZER CUPS RECIPE - (4.8/5)



Savory Cheese & Onion Appetizer Cups Recipe - (4.8/5) image

Provided by margiekyle

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette dressing
1 tablespoon oil
2 onions, cut lengthwise in half, then sliced crosswise
24 wonton wrappers
Nonstick cooking spray
3/4 cup Kraft Shredded Italian Five Cheese with a Touch of Philadelphia
2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350ºF. Heat dressing and oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add onions. Cook 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, place 1 wonton wrapper in each of 24 mini muffin pan cups sprayed with cooking spray, extending edges of wrapper over top of cup. Bake 5 minutes. Spoon 1 tablespoon onion into each baked wonton cup. Top with cheese and thyme. Bake 8 to 10 minutes more or until filling is heated through and edges of cups are golden brown.

Tips:

  • For a crispier cup, use a mini muffin tin instead of a regular muffin tin.
  • Gently press the wonton wrappers into the muffin cups to ensure they're evenly distributed and there are no air pockets.
  • Be careful not to overfill the cups with the cheese mixture, as they may overflow while baking.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or goat cheese.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add additional vegetables, such as diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini.
  • Serve the cheese onion appetizer cups warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, marinara sauce, or salsa.
