Mr. Food's Crispy Cheese Poppers
1-1/2 dozen
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1 fresh jalapeño pepper, stem and seeds removed, chopped
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 18 wonton wrappers (from a 16-ounce package), thawed if frozen
• 1-½ cups vegetable oil
1. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped jalapeño, and Parmesan cheese; mix well.
2. Place a wonton wrapper on a flat work surface. Dip your fingers in a small bowl of water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Place about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper and fold diagonally to form a triangle. Seal the edges firmly with your fingers. Continue with the remaining cheese mixture and wonton wrappers.
3. In a large deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil until hot but not smoking. Fry the wontons in batches for 30 seconds per side, or until crisp and golden. Remove with a slotted spoon to drain on a paper towel-lined platter. Serve immediately.
