Ingredients

Original recipe fillings:

  • 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!)
  • 1-2 jalapeño peppers, 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

Fillings for new variation:

  • 2 bricks of cream cheese, softened (16 ounces total), I use organic
  • 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 medium sized jalapeño peppers, diced small (or more if you want it to have more of a kick)
  • About 3 green onions, chopped, or more for more flavor
  • 1 cup or more dried organic cherries or cranberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • Optional: chopped bacon!
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts of choice, I like to use pistachios

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.

Original recipe instructions:

  • 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. Divide the nuts evenly between the 24 cups.
  • Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes, then uncover and bake another 10 minutes until they're nicely golden brown on the edges and crispy.

New variation instructions:

  • Mix the filling ingredients together (all except the nuts), and put about 2 Tablespoons in each cup, going back to add more if you have some left. Sprinkle nuts on the top.
  • Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes, then uncover and bake another 10 minutes until they're nicely golden brown on the edges and crispy.
