Instructions
Prepare the Filling
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl combine the softened cream cheese, minced jalapeños, shredded Monterey Jack, and crumbled bacon. Mix vigorously until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Fill the Wontons
Lay wonton wrappers flat on a clean surface. Place about one teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Lightly dampen the edges with water using your fingertip, then fold the wrapper diagonally into a triangle pressing firmly to seal and eliminate any air pockets.
Brush and Bake
Arrange the filled wontons in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping. Brush the tops lightly with olive oil which will help them turn golden and crispy. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until they are deeply golden brown and crisp all over.
Cool Slightly and Serve
Let the wontons cool on the baking sheet for 3 to 4 minutes before serving as the filling will be extremely hot directly out of the oven. Arrange on a platter and serve with ranch dressing or sweet chili sauce for dipping.
