How to make cheesy breakfast wonton cups

Featured Ingredients:

• Wonton wrappers: Grab a pack of wonton wrappers.
  • Store the extras in a sealed plastic bag in the freezer.
• Spinach: Chop up fresh spinach or use the frozen bag of spinach (not from the box – there is too much water).
• Sausage or bacon: Make sure it’s cooked and chopped or ground.
• Cheddar: Your favorite shredded cheese.
• Eggs: Arguably the star of this show!
• Seasonings: At a minimum, salt and black pepper.
• Scallions: A few sliced green onion as a garnish really freshen things up.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
3. Tuck the wonton wrappers into each muffin cup. Coat with cooking spray.
4. Bake 5-6 minutes, until just starting to brown. Remove from the oven.
5. Distribute the spinach and sausage or bacon in each wonton cup.
6. Crack the eggs in a medium bowl.
7. Season each with the salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) and use a fork to whisk the eggs until smooth.
8. Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop the seasoned egg mixture into each wonton cup until ⅞ full.
9. Distribute the shredded cheese on top of each egg cup.
10. Bake 18-19 minutes, until the egg is just set.
11. Garnish with the sliced scallions.

Recipe Substitutions and Alterations

• For the wonton wrappers: You could try with puff pastry or pie crust (although I haven’t tested this – you may have to adjust cooking time).
• For the spinach: Try with any leafy green, such as finely chopped kale, or other cooked chopped veggies like bell pepper or onion.
• For the sausage: Use any cooked ground or chopped sausage or bacon. You can also omit the meat if you’d like.
• For the cheese: Use any shredded cheese you enjoy or have on hand.
• For the egg: If you don’t want to leave the egg as-is, you can scramble them first and pour the beaten eggs into the wonton cups.
• For seasonings: Use any dried herbs and spices you like.
