You'll be surprised at how a few random sounding ingredients can taste so good all together in this wonton appetizer recipe. My friend Nancy just made it up, she's a great cook and is always finding something new and amazing to make your mouth happy. She originally used mini pastry shells, but I didn't love the ingredients in those so I make them in these wonton wrappers instead and they're just as good. They have a little creaminess from the cheese (I never knew I loved brie cheese so much), a little sweet, a little salty, a little crunch, a touch of spicy, and a lot of YUM. So if you want to show up with a unique appetizer the next time you need to bring one somewhere, try this!

Here's a picture of Nancy, can you believe she is a Grandma? 🙂

Crazy Delicious Wonton Appetizer Recipe

Make sure to look at the pictures below! And check out the variation I added recently for another option. 🙂

Ingredients

24 wonton wrappers — they usually come 48 to a package
8 ounces of brie cheese, cut into cubes a little bigger than dice-sized — you'll need all of the cheese, just basically cut it so you have 24 pieces about the same size
4 ounces mango chutney like this one (I just used half of an 8-ounce jar) — just see what your store has, if it's a different type of chutney or fruit jam it'll still be good, but just make sure it doesn't have any junky ingredients in it (get a copy of my book for help with that!)
1 jalapeño pepper, again, , diced small (or more if you want it to have more of a kick)
1/4 cup chopped nuts of choice, Nancy used crispy pecans, I used pistachios this time

Here's a variation I tried recently for the filling and everyone loved it!

2 bricks of cream cheese, softened (16 ounces total), I use organic
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1 jalapeño pepper, again, , diced small (or more if you want it to have more of a kick)
About 3 green onions, chopped, or more for more flavor
About 1 cup (or more) dried organic cherries or cranberries
Optional: chopped bacon!

Mix it all up and fill the wontons as directed below and bake 'til filling is hot and edges are golden brown and crispy.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350*. Place 24 wonton wrappers in your mini muffin pan. Just tuck the sides a bit so they sit down in there, they don't have to be perfect.

Next add the cube of brie cheese in the bottom, and then add a small dollop of mango chutney, about 3/4 teaspoon. Too much and it's too sweet, not enough and the flavor isn't as tasty. Now sprinkle the jalepenos on evenly. Use more if you like a little more kick.Now divide the nuts evenly between the 24 cups.

Bake for about 10 minutes or longer until the cheese is melted and they're nicely golden brown on the edges and crispy.
