Pizza Wontons

momthecook #2's Note:

These are a nice appetizer or a handy snack. My kids love them.

• Total Time: 21 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 1 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 20

• 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup ham
• 1 tablespoon crushed pineapple, drained
• 2 tablespoons spaghetti sauce
• 20 wonton wrappers

Directions:

1. Grind ham or chop very fine.
2. Mix together ham, pineapple, and cheese.
3. Add just enough spaghetti sauce to let the ingredients stick together.
4. Place a wonton wrapper on the table with one corner facing you.
5. Place 1-2 teaspoons filling on wrapper, just above the corner.
6. Wet edges of wonton slightly.
7. Fold corner facing you over filling, then overlap right and left corners over the top.
8. Roll up and press slightly to seal.
9. Deep fry in hot oil just until golden. This only takes about 30 seconds. If you leave them too long they will burst.
10. Drain on paper towels.
11. Freeze on a cookie sheet and transfer to a plastic bag or container.
12. Re-heat in oven or microwave.

I loved these. I made some as directed and some with pepperoni and sausage in place of the ham and pineapple( I microwaved the pepperoni on paper towels a bit first to render grease) Both ways they turned out terrific. Thanks!

the filling is spot on, but I am going to try a different method, maybe baking these in a muffin pan with the wonton wrapper as a casing. I was careful not to fry them too long, but when I reheated them in the oven the casing was soggy and the filling burst out. still tasted very good though :)

good idea - but, i'm not a huge fan of the wonton wrapper being used here...although, i think i'll take the idea of chopping up the filling and use it in other areas
