A little pizza sauce, some baby pepperoni, cheese and a little heat, all wrapped in a wonton wrapper. In no time I’m burning the roof of my mouth again, enjoying the snacks and memories from years ago.

8ouncesMozzarella cheeseshredded
8ouncespizza sauceplus more for dipping, if desired
Combine the pepperoni, cheese, sauce, and red pepper flake in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl whisk together the egg and water.
Working in batches, lay the wonton wrappers out on a flat surface in the shape of a diamond, with one point pointing towards you.
Lightly brush the edges of the wrapper with the egg wash.
Spoon about a tablespoon of the sauce mixture into the center of the wonton.
Grab the topmost (furthest away from you) point of the diamond and fold over the sauce mixture. Press down around the edges to seal.
Fold in the left and right sides and press down on the edges to seal.
Finally, fold over the bottom side (the point pointing towards you) and then press lightly around the edges to seal. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with foil or use a silpat.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve hot with warmed additional pizza sauce for dipping if desired.
Notes
You can make these ahead and freeze them. Just pop them in a 425 F oven for 15-20 minutes when ready to heat and eat.
