Wonton cups are a fantastic, versatile, and easy-to-make appetizer or party snack! They can be filled with everything from savory cream cheese dips to fresh salads.
Here is a quick guide on how to make the basic cups, along with a couple of popular filling ideas.
How to Make Basic Wonton Cups
-
Prep the Oven & Pan: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
-
Shape the Wrappers: Take square wonton wrappers (found in the refrigerated produce or Asian section of most grocery stores) and gently press one wrapper into each muffin cup, letting the corners stick up to form a cup shape.
-
Bake: Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp. Keep a close eye on them, as they burn quickly!
-
Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
