SAUSAGE FILLED WONTONS

Category: Deep Fried

1 lb roll sausage
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup shredded American cheese
3 oz cream cheese
1/2 tsp dried marjoram
1/4 tsp dried tarrragon leaves
30 Wonton wrappers
Vegetable oil
Plum sauce or sweet & sour

To prepare filling, crumble sausage into large skillet. Add onion. Cook over medium heat until sausage is browned, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; drain off any drippings. Stir in cheeses, marjoram and tarragon. Mix until cheeses melt.

To keep wonton wrappers from drying, cover wrappers with damp kitchen towel while working. Lightly dampen 1 wrapper by dipping finger in water and wiping all edges, making 1/4 inch border. Place rounded tspful sausage mixture in middle of wrapper. Fold wrapper over filling to form triangle, sealing edges and removing any air bubbles.

Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Heat 4 inches oil in deep fryer or heavy large saucepan to 350. Fry wontons, a few at a time, until golden brown. Remove with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Reheat oil between batches. Serve hot with dipping sauce, if desired. Refrigerate leftovers. Makes 30 wontons.
