What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Sunshine Eats: Goat Cheese Wonton Appetizers! If you want an amazing appetizer that can be made in a flash, look no further. We’re all pretty familiar with those tiny pastry cups located in the freezer section of the supermarket. But have you seen the price? It’s ridiculous. Back away and take a turn to the dairy aisle instead. Pick up a package of wonton wrappers, a roll of goat cheese, a block of cream cheese, and a jar of bacon jam.* In no time at all, these festive cuties will have “party” written all over them. Remember, you’re allowed one taste-test, but fight the urge to eat any more than that before the guests arrive.
GOAT CHEESE WONTON APPETIZERS
Ingredients:
48 wonton wrappers, 12-ounce package
4-ounce goat cheese
4-ounce cream cheese
12-ounce jar bacon jam*
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Coat two 12-cup mini-muffin pans with nonstick oil. Cut corners off wonton wrappers to make an octagon shape. Using your fingers, gently press one wrapper into each cup. Press down without puncturing dough. Lightly spritz wrappers with cooking oil. Bake until golden brown, 8-9 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. Transfer cups to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining wrappers. Meanwhile, combine goat cheese and cream cheese. Blend until smooth. Drop by scant spoonful in each wonton cup. Top with a dollop of bacon ham. Place the appetizers on a baking sheet. Bake filled wontons for 5 minutes until cheese is bubbly. Serve warm.

I like that you can make one or one dozen or more. I’m a “taste tester”, so if I’m going to share it, I have to know that the flavor is perfect. 😍🌿

Brilliant but bacon jam? I don’t think we have this over here, but something else will do!
Thank you.

I tasted bacon jam in a restaurant the first time. Then I made my own. Then I began to find it in the Deli Department of my grocery store. 😍🌿

Have you noticed how expensive they are on the restaurant menu? And usually that means five. I understand that odd numbers look better in presentation, but sharing becomes challenging to split between two people. 🤣🤣🤣

What I really like about this recipe is the fact that baking is used instead of frying. Just my thoughts. 🤔
