Wonton Pizza Crisps

(Original recipe can be found at Wendy See Wendy Do)

Every time I buy wonton wrappers or egg roll wrappers, I'm left with a stack I have no idea what to do with. Today I decided to hunt down something new to try with the leftover wrappers versus letting them sit for months and get freezer burn and then I'd have to toss them. I found countless recipes for rolls and dumplings of all kinds - basically the standard. THEN, I came upon this greatness.  These little crispy squares were the perfect dinner snack for my 5 year old and I.  Made up and on the table in approximately 10 minutes total, we spent the rest of the evening playing Batman Lego 2 and munching on them. These are definitely a keeper and I can see changing them up in different ways to make other kinds of mini pizzas chips, which, they totally were like a chip.

What You Will Need:

• 12 Wontons wrappers  (if frozen, just microwave for 20 seconds to thaw)
• 12 Slices of Pepperon
• Mozzarella Cheese - shredded
• Italian Herb Seasoning
• Nonstick Cooking Spray
• A baking sheet

What To Do:

• Crank that oven up on 375.
• Spray some non stick cooking spray to cover the base.
• Lay your 12 wrappers - 4 per row - making sure they don't touch each other.
• Spray the wrappers
• Sprinkle the cheese.
• Sprinkle the seasoning.
• Top it off with a pepperoni slice and pop it in the oven.
• Bake for 6-8 minutes.  

Here is where I'd say it depends on your oven. I initially did 8 minutes which toasted them pretty quickly, turning them brown. Not burnt tasting though, but not fancy pretty either.  I did another batch and this time I let them go for 6 minutes, checking the cheese melting process and getting what I had hoped for. The brown ones didn't go to waste at all, I just alternated them with the lighter colored ones when I stacked and served.

How easy was that?! 5 year old approved. Dinner done in a jiffy. Cleanup minimal. Playtime abundant. Happy and full.  This was a good, easy night. Mom approved.
