Sausage Flowers
- 1 lb sweet Italian sausage
- 1 lb hot Italian sausage
- 1 cup colby-monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup pineapple salsa
- 1 cup pepper and onion relish
- 48 wonton wrappers
- 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
- 1 bunch scallion
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees .
- Lightly spray a miniature muffin pan with vegetable oil spray.
- Wonton cups: Take the wonton skins out of the refrigerator about 10 minutes before you need to use them.
- They break too easily when cold.
- Using a tart shaper, press the skins gently into the prepared muffin pan.
- Ensure that the folds dont fall into center of each cup, pressing back against the sides so that the cup is as large as possible.
- Bake the skins at 350 degrees for 7 minutes exactly, turning them halfway through if your oven doesn't bake evenly.
- Be careful, as they can brown and burn very quickly.
- NOTE: Darker pans will brown the skins more quickly than silver ones.
- If making ahead, put the cups in zipper plastic bags once cool, but do not seal them as the cups will get softer.
- Sausage filling: Take the sausage out of the casings (if not loose).
- Place sausage in a large, deep skillet.
- Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown.
- Drain and remove from heat.
- NOTE: Sausage is hard to break up into small pieces when cooking, so do as much as you can, then once browned and drained, put the sausage into a food processor and pulse a few times to create small chunks.
- Place sausage in a large bowl and stir the Colby/Jack cheese into the warm sausage to melt.
- Stir in salsa and relish.
- Place a heaping tablespoon of the sausage mixture into each baked wonton cup.
- Dollop each with approximately 1 tablespoon sour cream.
- The easiest method to do this is with a cookie press or icing decorator.
- Sprinkle with chopped scallions (green part only).
