Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Wonton Wrappers – about 24 pieces
- Feta Cheese – 1 cup, crumbled
- Hot Honey – 3 tablespoons (adjust to taste)
- Olive Oil – 2 tablespoons for frying or brushing if baking
Optional Ingredients
- Fresh Herbs (parsley or thyme) – 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
- Garlic Powder or Smoked Paprika – 1/2 teaspoon
- Chili Flakes – for garnish or added spice
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl and mix in garlic powder or smoked paprika along with any optional fresh herbs. Combine well to create a flavorful filling base.
- Fill the Wonton Wrappers: Place a small spoonful of the feta mixture in the center of each wonton wrapper. Moisten the edges with a little water, then fold into a triangle and press edges firmly to seal securely.
- Cook the Wontons: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry wontons for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Alternatively, for a healthier option, brush wontons lightly with olive oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes until crispy.
- Drizzle with Hot Honey: Transfer the cooked wontons to a serving plate while still warm. Generously drizzle hot honey over them to combine spicy sweetness with the crispy and tangy bites.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh herbs or chili flakes on top for added color and flavor punch. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect crunchy texture and vibrant taste.
Notes
- Seal Properly: Moisten and press the wonton edges firmly to prevent filling leaks during cooking.
- Don’t Overfill: Use small amounts of filling for easy sealing and even cooking.
- Temperature Matters: Maintain medium heat when frying or bake at the indicated temperature for crispy results without burning.
- Use Quality Honey: For the best flavor, choose raw, flavorful honey to make your hot honey drizzle.
- Prepare in Batches: Cooking in small batches keeps the oil temperature consistent and wontons crispy.
