Ingredients
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Pepperoni slices, chopped
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 large Egg, beaten
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.25 cup Optional: grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Optional: marinara sauce (for dipping)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, mix mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni, pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 2
Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center of each wrapper.
Step 3
Brush the edges of each wonton wrapper lightly with the beaten egg. Fold the wrapper into a triangle (or a pouch shape) and press the edges firmly to seal. Ensure there are no gaps, as this could cause the filling to leak during frying.
Step 4
In a deep saucepan or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, test by dropping a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil—it should sizzle immediately.
Step 5
Fry the wontons in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for 2-3 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
Use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Optional: While the wontons are still hot, sprinkle them with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Step 8
Serve immediately with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
