Ingredients
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 1/2 cup hot dog chili sauce
- 12 cubes of cheddar, cut in half
- 3 hot dogs, cut into quarters
- Toppings if desired
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175 °C) with the rack in the middle.
- Place a wonton wrapper into each well of a mini muffin pan and carefully push it down in place. Short nails or a wooden tart tamper really helps with this.
- Remove the pan from the oven and fill the wonton cups. Start with 1 teaspoon of the hot dog sauce, followed by a piece of hot dog and a cube of cheese (broken into smaller pieces).
- Finish it off with an additional teaspoonful of chili dog sauce and pop it into the oven to bake until the cheese is melted and the wonton shells are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the pan from the oven and immediately remove the shells from the muffin well. I use a thin-blade spatula for this. If you leave them in the muffin pan, they can turn soggy. They will be soft on the bottom, but put them on a cooling rack, and they will crisp up in about a minute, if not sooner.
