Wonton Cups

I love phyllo appetizers with fun fillings, but working with phyllo dough can be a pain. These recipes use wonton wrappers instead. They're much easier to work with and faster to use. I have three filling ideas below, but feel free to experiment with whatever fillings seem good to you.

Wonton Cups
Makes 24

6 large wanton wrappers
Filling (ideas to follow)

1. Cut each wonton wrapper into 4 squares.
2. Using a mini muffin tin, place each wrapper in a muffin hole. The sides will come up, creating a mini wonton cup.
3. Fill with whatever fillings desired and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, or until wontons are slightly browned on edges.
