Ingredients

1 pound ground Italian sausage
0.5 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
0.5 cup shredded Colby cheese
1 cup salsa
24 (3.5 inch square) wonton wrappers
0.75 (16 ounce) container sour cream
1 bunch green onions, chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin for easy removal.
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat until it's evenly browned. Drain off any excess grease and remove from the heat.
Stir the Monterey Jack cheese and Colby cheese into the warm sausage until the cheese is completely melted. Then, mix in the salsa.
Gently press each wonton wrapper into the prepared mini muffin tin, ensuring the edges extend slightly. Place a generous 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture into each wonton cup.
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the wonton wrappers start to turn golden brown, approximately 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the sausage flowers to a serving platter. Top each one with about 1 tablespoon of sour cream and sprinkle with fresh green onions before serving.
