When the oven is ready, bake the wonton cups for 6 to 8 minutes or until the edges starts to turn golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and decrease the oven temperature to 350°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar, bacon, jalapeño, green onion, and milk. Mix until well combined.
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion the cream cheese filling mixture into each wonton cup. Top each cup with some reserved bacon, cheddar, and jalapeño.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the filling is hot and the cheddar on top is melted. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before removing.
Enjoy while warm!

Jalapeño - If you prefer it spicier, don't remove all of the jalapeño seeds. Also, avoid touching your face if you're handling the jalapeño bare-handed, or wear disposable gloves while handling.
