By merlin

Johnny Carion style

Ingredients

• 7 oz won-ton wrappers (about 1/3 of a medium package)
• Canola oil
• 2/3 cup Asiago cream sauce ( check recipe for Asiago cream sauce)
• 1/3 cup(8oz) ground Italian sausage, fully cooked
• 2 cups (8 oz) grated mozzarella cheese, divided
• 1/2 cup fresh tomatoes, diced
• 1/4 cup Kalamata black olives, sliced
• 1/4 cup scallions, chopped
• 1/4 cup banana peppers, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Seperate the won-ton wrappers and cut each square in half diagonally to form triangles. Deep-fry wrappers in canola oil until light brown, about 30-45 seconds. Drain on paper towels.

On a large, ovenproof dish, place fried wrappers, curled-side down, in a single layer. Top with Asiago cream sauce and cooked sausage. Add half of the mozzarella cheese (1 cup). Layer on the tomatoes, olives, scallions and banana peppers.

Top with remaining mozzarella and broil at 400 to 500 degrees F. until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 2-3 minutes.
