Crispy Oven-Baked Goat Cheese, Basil & Walnut Wontons

Goat's cheese, basil and walnut wontons

• 120g goat's cheese (or combination of cheeses, including at least one soft cheese)

• 1/4 bunch of basil leaves with 24 whole basil leaves reserved (I used purple Thai basil), the rest torn up

• 1/4 cup walnuts chopped

• 24 wonton wrappers

• water for sealing

• oil for brushing

Step 1 - Preheat oven to 200c. Mix cheese, walnuts and torn up basil leaves.

Step 2 - On baking parchment lay out 12 wonton wrappers, place a single basil leaf in the centre and then using 2 teaspoons, dollop 1 teaspoon of cheese mixture on top of leaf. Add another whole basil leaf in the centre on top of this.

Step 3 - Wet edges with water and press down to seal well

Step 4 - Using pastry brush, brush oil lightly over both sides of the sealed wontons and bake for 7-8 minutes. These burn quickly so watch them and don't cook them over the specified time.

Step 5 - Serve with sweet chili sauce or other dipping sauce.
