Ingredients

1 Pound Pork or Chicken Sausage
4 Ounce Whipped Cream Cheese
3/4 Cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
3 Tbsp Chopped Jalapeno (cored and seeded) substitute diced green chiles for less heat
1 cup sweet peppers diced
1 Package Wonton wrappers I prefer Nasoya won ton wrappers
2 Tbsp Fresh cilantro (torn)
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Egg

Instructions

Brown the sausage in a medium pan over medium heat. Remove from heat and let cool.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush 1/2 tbsp of olive oil on two large sheet pans and set aside.
In a large bowl stir together sausage, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, jalapeno, sweet peppers, cilantro, salt and pepper.
Assemble the wontons. Lay wonton wrappers flat and spoon about half a tablespoon of the sausage mixture in the middle. (Try not to overfill) Fold the wonton over to completely cover the mixture to form a triangle. Wet your fingertips and press the edges firmly. Bring the bottom corners together and squeeze. Place each wonton 2 inches apart on the prepared sheet pan.
Create an egg wash. Whisk one egg with a tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Brush lightly over each wonton.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are browned and crispy.
