¼ lb Smoked Slab Bacon - cut into 'lardons' (apx 1 inch by ¼ inch 'matchsticks')
1 Small White Onion - quartered and sliced thin
4 Tbs (2 oz.) Cream Cheese - softened
4 Tbs Sour Cream
Kosher Salt to taste
Fresh Ground Black Pepper to taste
Extra Virgin Olive Oil as needed
-OPTIONAL-
A small pinch of Freshly Grated Nutmeg
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375ºF
Lightly brush both sides of the wonton wrappers with extra virgin olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet(s) without overlapping
Spread the bacon lardons ('matchsticks') on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (try to keep the individual lardons from touching)
Place the wonton wrappers in the center of the oven and the lardons in the top - Allow to bake for 5 minutes or until wonton wrappers are just colored (very lightly browned)
Remove from oven and transfer the lardons to absorbent paper - Gently pat the wonton wrappers with a paper towel to remove any excess oil and set aside to cool until easily handled
In a small bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, sour cream, salt (apx ⅛ tsp), pepper (a couple of grinds), and nutmeg (if using) until smooth and thoroughly combined
Spread the yogurt mixture on the par baked wonton wrappers replacing them back onto the baking sheet(s) - Top each canapé with a bit of the onion and lardons - Very lightly dust with some extra pepper
Return to the center of the oven and allow to bake until the bottoms are browned and the bacon is hot (apx 5 minutes)
Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately
