Can I use egg roll wrappers instead of wonton wrappers?

Oh man, I get this question all the time! Here's the deal - egg roll wrappers are tempting because they're bigger, but they're much thicker than wonton wrappers. If you use them, you'll end up with chewy, doughy cups instead of that perfect crispy crunch we love. Stick with the thin square wonton wrappers (usually found near the tofu in the refrigerated section). But if you're in a pinch, you can cut egg roll wrappers into quarters - just know they won't be quite as delicate!

What's the best way to freeze cheesy sausage wonton cups?

Great news - these freeze beautifully! I always make double batches just for this reason. After baking, let them cool completely (this is crucial), then arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet to flash freeze for about an hour. Once they're firm, transfer to a freezer bag with parchment between layers. They'll keep for up to 2 months this way. When the cravings hit (or surprise guests arrive), just pop them straight from freezer to 350°F oven for 8-10 minutes - no thawing needed!

How can I make these cheesy sausage wonton cups spicy?

Oh honey, you're speaking my language! There are so many ways to crank up the heat. My favorite is swapping regular sausage for hot Italian sausage - instant flavor boost! For extra kick, try adding: A teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the filling Diced fresh jalapeños (seeds in if you're brave!) A dash of cayenne or chipotle powder A squirt of sriracha mixed into the cheese
