Ingredients
  

1 package (14 oz) wonton wrappers

8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into small cubes

1 cup shredded Italian blend cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (such as oregano, basil, and thyme)

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

1 large egg, beaten (for sealing the wrappers)

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil works best)

Marinara sauce, for dipping

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cheese Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the small cubes of fresh mozzarella, shredded Italian cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, and red pepper flakes if desired. Stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed and set aside.

    Assemble the Wontons: On a clean, dry surface, lay out the wonton wrappers. Take one wrapper at a time and place about one teaspoon of the cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper.

      Seal the Wontons: Using a brush or your finger, spread the beaten egg along the edges of the wonton wrapper. Carefully fold the wrapper in half diagonally to create a triangle shape, making sure to press the edges together firmly to seal. For an added touch, you can create decorative pleats along the edges.

        Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, pour in about 1-2 inches of oil and heat it over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of wonton wrapper into the oil; it should sizzle upon contact.

          Fry the Wontons: When the oil is hot, carefully place a few wontons at a time into the skillet—do not overcrowd the pan. Fry each wonton for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

            Drain Excess Oil: Once golden, use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried wontons to a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining wontons.

              Serve with Style: Arrange your crispy mozzarella wonton dippers on a large serving platter. Serve them hot alongside marinara sauce for dipping. For an attractive presentation, garnish with fresh basil leaves if using.
