Looking for a unique appetizer that’s sure to please guests this weekend? Cook up some wontons, a classic dish commonly served in Chinese restaurants. These aren’t just any wontons, though, our recipe—crafted by a Harry & David employee and featuring mouthwatering photography from Kellie Hemmerly, author of The Suburban Soapbox—uses a special ingredient that takes this appetizer to a new level.
What makes them so special? The pepper and onion relish, of course! In this case, we used our Harry & David Pepper and Onion Relish, which adds a zesty bite to the smooth, creamy flavor of the cheese inside that crispy shell.
Whether you’re hosting a dinner or event, or just looking for a light snack the whole family can enjoy, this recipe is the perfect choice. It serves 4 people, only takes about fifteen minutes to cook, and all of the ingredients are used right out of the package.
