Heat evoo in a small frying pan
over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until
softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Drizzle truffle oil over mushrooms;
stir to coat and blend.
Remove from heat; set aside
to cool.
Wontons:
Lay out wonton wrappers on
a cutting board or flat surface.
Using a pastry brush (or the
back of a spoon), brush the
center of the wonton wrapper
with a smear of mustard, leaving
the perimeter plain.
Place a cube of cheddar
cheese in the center of each
wonton. Top each cube of
cheese with a slice of reserved
mushrooms. Using a wet fingertip,
moisten the plain perimeter
of each wonton with a dab of
water.
To seal each wonton, fold opposing
corners upwards to meet
each other over the filling, pressing
and sealing between your
thumb and forefinger. Repeat,
matching and sealing the other
corners, folding to fit and seal
the edges.
Heat oil filled to a depth of 1 to 2
inches in a deep saucepan or pot
over medium heat. If using a fry
thermometer (recommended),
heat oil to a temperature of 350°F to
360°F.
Fry a few wontons at a time
until golden and crispy, turning
once during cooking, about 1
minute per side. Use a slotted
spoon to remove wontons,
transferring to a plate lined with
paper towels to drain.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
