Baked Sausage and Pepper Jack Wontons are a delightful twist on classic wontons, blending the spice of pepper jack cheese with the savory goodness of sausage. These crispy, golden treats are perfect for parties, family gatherings, or even a cozy night in. The idea for this recipe came to me after a particularly hectic day at the office when I craved something quick, comforting, and a little spicy. These wontons are baked instead of fried, which makes them a healthier option without sacrificing flavor.
These wontons pair wonderfully with a fresh garden salad or some steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal. Additionally, you can serve them with a variety of dips like a tangy marinara sauce, creamy ranch, or a spicy sriracha mayo for a bit of extra kick. If you’re hosting friends, a side of mixed nuts or a light fruit platter complements the spicy, cheesy goodness perfectly.
