Do you need a mind blowingly delicious yet easy appetizer? Look no further than these Baked Bacon and Brie Wontons.
These simple appetizers combine salty bacon and creamy brie with some fresh herbs all in a crispy shell. You might want to make a test batch (or two) for yourself, because these will not last long.
Read on to find out how to make these tasty apps for your next party.
Wonton wrappers are great to keep on hand for quick and easy snacks or meals. You may even opt for a sweet version, like a smear of peanut butter and a few chocolate chips.
And when it comes to parties, who doesn't love a crispy little pocket of deliciousness? They are always a hit.
Fried, Air Fried or Broiled Wontons
These can be made by frying, air frying or broiling. All you want to do is crisp the outer shell and melt the brie a bit.
If you are trying to avoid frying for health reasons, just note that these only stay in the hot oil for a few minutes. Meaning they will not absorb as much oil as a piece of fried chicken for example that needs to be cooked through completely.
Instructions for all methods are included below.
Can you make Bacon and Brie Wontons ahead of time?
These can be prepared up to a day ahead of time and cooked at the last minute. Be sure to tightly cover with plastic wrap to prevent the wonton wrappers from drying out.
If you are frying you can cook them completely ahead of time, let them cool and broil them on high for a few minutes a side until the wonton has re-crisped and heated throughout.

Thank you for hosting! This is what I featured the week of 11-25 to 11-29 on my blog. On Tuesday morning were Christmas Almond Balls. Wednesday was a Red Velvet Oreo Trifle. And wrapping up the first week of Christmas baking is a Marilyns Treats original. My Death by Peanut Butter and Chocolate Trifle. Enjoy!

I think I'd eat just about anything wrapped in wontons. These look so scrumptious! And the brie and bacon combo is so delicious.
