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 oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Tuck wonton wrappers into each muffin cup.
3. Coat with cooking spray.
4. Bake 5-6 minutes, until just starting to brown. Remove from the oven.
5. Distribute spinach, sausage, cheese and an egg in each wonton cup.
6. Season each with salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes.
7. Bake 18-19 minutes, until egg is just set.
8. Garnish with 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.
