Let’s Make It Together

Bake for another 10 minutes or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy. The aroma wafting through your home will be irresistible!
Allow to cool slightly, then gently remove the cups from the muffin tin. Serve warm and watch them disappear!

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just fill your wonton cups and bake them right before serving!
Perfect Wonton Wrappers: Keep a close eye on the baking time for the wonton wrappers. You’re looking for a crispy golden brown color; avoid over-baking as they can become too-hard and brittle.
Storing Leftovers: If you happen to have any leftovers (unlikely, but possible!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to regain that crispy texture.
