🧀 1/4 cup Parmesan, grated
🧄 1 clove garlic, minced
🍅 1/4 cup marinara sauce
🌿 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
🌿 1 teaspoon dried oregano
🧂 1 pinch of sugar
🥟 20 wonton wrappers
🥚 1 egg, beaten (for sealing wontons)
🛢️ Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1- Prepare the Filling:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella, cooked pork sausage, Parmesan, minced garlic, marinara sauce, chopped parsley, oregano, and a pinch of sugar.
• Mix thoroughly until well combined.

2- Fill the Wontons:

• Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface.
• Add a teaspoon of the filling to the center of the wrapper.
• Brush the edges with the beaten egg to act as a sealant.
• Fold the wrapper into a triangle, ensuring the filling is enclosed and the edges are sealed tightly.

3- Heat the Oil:

• Pour enough vegetable oil into a deep frying pan or pot to cover the wontons.
• Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C).

4- Fry the Wontons:

• Carefully add the filled wontons to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
• Fry them in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil.

5- Drain the Wontons:

• Place the fried wontons on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

6- Serve:

• Enjoy the wontons while they are warm and the cheese is gooey.
• They can be served with extra marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
