RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

For extra crispy wonton cups, lightly spray the wonton wrappers with cooking oil before baking.
To add extra spicy heat, increase the amount of jalapenos or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling.
For a vegetarian option, replace the bacon with diced red capsicum or simply omit it.
Jalapeno Popper Wonton Cups are best served straight from the oven while still warm and gooey!
