How to Make Spicy Italian Ham & Cheese Cups

Here’s all you need: ham, salami, shredded cheese (I used pepper jack for a little extra kick!), a diced red bell pepper (I love using the frozen bell pepper blend. I can always keep it on hand and it’s already diced up for me!), scallions, and wonton wrappers.

First, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat.

Add the bell pepper and season with salt and pepper.

Cook until slightly blackened and remove to a plate.

Next, grab a standard sized muffin tin and coat generously with nonstick cooking spray. Line each cup with a wonton wrapper.

Add a thin slice of ham… I used a rosemary parmesan ham I found in the deli section of my grocery store.

Then a slice of salami… You may need to fold it over to get it to fit! :)

Then top with shredded cheese.

Add another wonton wrapper and evenly distribute the bell peppers.

Top with a little more cheese and scallions…

And bake at 375 degrees F for 11-13 minutes until cups are heated through and edges are golden.

Hot, crispy, gooey, and cheesy!

Layers of goodness in every bite. Hope you enjoy!! :)
