Baked cream cheese wontons are a perfect appetizer for football season. But whether you’re firing up the grill in the stadium parking lot or hosting a small get-together with your friends right at home, these baked cream cheese wontons are a guaranteed hit. You might want to make a double batch because they’re just that good. They disappear in the blink of an eye.
How to Make Cream Cheese Wontons
How easy is that? We put 8 on each sheet, but you could put more on if you’re serving a crowd!
Put a little bit of cream cheese in the center of the wonton wraps. Using a basting brush, put melted butter along each edge (as seen in the video above).
Connect all 4 corners and give them a pinch so they stay. Brush a little more melted butter on the outside of each wonton (especially the edges). Bake for 5-8 minutes or until the edges turn a light brown color.
They’re slightly crunchier than the fried version, but they are 100% just as wonderful as the fried version. Hey, whatever it takes to make a cheese appetizer healthier – I’ll take it!
