Blog Makeover


Happy Birthday to my blog!

It's been a year since I first posted Turkey-Parsley "chinese" Pancakes and Dipping Sauce!

 Loaf is in need of a makeover so in the next week/weeks, I'll be editing some of my past recipes to a more simple and easy to follow format.  There will also be exciting changes that I plan to include in my Loaf posts in the coming months.  Wishing everyone an amazing 2014!

Baked Cheese Wontons

A less greasy version of these yummy, crispy treats.  You can add anything to the cream cheese such as chopped ham, bacon, chives, etc.  The first time I made baked cheese wontons, I did not use egg, grated cheese, or flour. These are optional but I found that these three ingredients not only extend the recipe, allowing you to make more wontons (great for parties) but also add flavor to the recipe.


Ingredients:
4 oz Cream Cheese (1/2 block)
3 tbs Finely Chopped Onions
3 tbs Finely Chopped Pitted Green Olives
1/4 cup Grated Cheese (mexican)
1/4 cup flour
1 Egg
1/8 tsp salt (optional)
Wonton Wrappers
water for sealing wonton edges
Oil and pastry brush
Lightly greased baking pan

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix Cream Cheese,Onions,Olives, Grated Cheese,Flour,Egg, and Salt in a bowl
3. Place about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mix in the middle of the wonton
4. Wet your fingertip and run it around the four edges of the wonton
5. Fold over into a triangle and seal by gently pressing the edges of the wonton
6. Place on baking pan and lightly brush each wonton with oil
7. Bake for 12 to 16 minutes or until edges brown



The pictures are actually from the 1st batch but I'm featuring the recipe from the second batch since they turned out scrumptious!
