4 oz. cream cheese, organic (don’t use low or no fat cheese)

Other Ingredients you will need:
1 pkg. Wonton shells (we use Azumaya round or square pasta wraps–usually
found in produce department of groceries)
olive oil for frying
Instructions for each type of wonton:
Mix all ingredients together for your choice of wonton.
Use wonton shells as described on package.
Do not use more than ½ tsp. stuffing for each wonton or it will squeeze out and
make a messy wonton, which could cause excessive splattering when fried
Fry until crispy and nicely browned.
If using raw meat, slow the cooking process a bit to be sure the inside of the
wonton is thoroughly cooked.
These can be reheated.
