Jalapeno Cheese Turnovers

Jalapeno Cheese Turnovers

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
1 jalapeno pepper, stem and seeds removed, chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (6-ounce) package wonton wrappers, thawed if frozen
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a 10- x 15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, jalapeno, and Parmesan cheese; mix well.

Place one wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Dip your fingers in a small bowl of water and moisten edges of wonton. Place 1 tablespoon cheese mixture in center of wonton and fold diagonally to form a triangle. Turn wonton over and seal edges firmly with your fingers.

Place turnover on prepared baking sheet . Continue with remaining cheese mixture and wontons. Spray tops of turnovers lightly with cooking spray and bake 6 to 7 minutes, or until golden and edges are crispy. Serve immediately.

Notes

While filling the turnovers, be sure to keep the rest of the wonton wrappers covered with a damp paper towel so they won't dry out. Then wrap any remaining wonton wrappers in plastic wrap and reserve for future use.

Serve these with some warm jalapeno jelly -- it's perfect as a dipping sauce
