Lunch: Puffs

Recipe by Rebecca Swift These jalapeno and cheese-stuffed wontons are even better than poppers.

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (4 ounce) can diced jalapeno peppers
2 cloves garlic, pressed
3 green onions, diced
1 (16 ounce) package wonton wrappers
1 quart vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, jalapeno peppers, garlic and green onions.
Fill wonton wrappers with approximately 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture each. Fold wrappers into triangles and press the edges with a moistened fork to seal.
In a large, deep skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Drop 4 wontons at a time into the oil and quickly fry, turning once. Remove when golden brown and drain on paper towels.
