    With the holidays in full swing and lots of parties and get togethers to plan for the next few months, I thought it would be fun to do a few how-to posts for some basics that I use when putting together appetizer menus, party food or just a good ol' 'snacks for dinner' dinner 🙂 So, let's start out with how to make these crispy baked wonton cups!

    How to Fill Crispy Wonton Cups

    Since you can make the wonton cups ahead of time, on the day of your event you just have to fill and serve. I love easy entertaining and you can get really creative with how you fill these crispy wonton cups:

    • Tangy pulled pork topped with coleslaw
    • Chicken salad - my grandma's secret ingredient chicken salad is always a crowd pleaser
    • Make mini taco salads - start with my slow cooker shredded chicken or shredded beef
    • Spinach artichoke dip
    • Chili topped with shredded cheese and diced onions
    • Fill with hummus and add a few veggie dippers
    • Sprinkle the wonton wrappers  with cinnamon sugar before they are baked and fill with all sorts of sweet fillings: fruit salad, no bake cheesecake, yogurt fruit salad, pudding mousse or even a scoop of ice cream!

    How to Make Wonton Cups

    Now to get started, here is what you'll need from your kitchen to make wonton cups:

    • Standard size cupcake pan
    • Silicon brush or olive oil mister
    • Vegetable/light olive oil
    • Wonton wrappers - these are refrigerated and my local grocery store has them in the produce department

    First, you'll want to brush or mist both sides of each wonton wrapper with vegetable oil or light olive oil. This keeps the wrappers supple and flexible so they don't tear when you tuck them in the cupcake pan.

    How to make wonton cups: step 1, brush or mist both sides of the wonton wrappers with vegetable or light olive oil.

    Next, gently tuck the wonton wrapper into the bottom of each well in the cupcake pan. (Note, I made the first batch in a mini cupcake pan and the opening for each wonton cup was really small, so I switched to a standard sized cupcake pan.)

    How to make wonton cups: step 2. Press each wonton wrapper into one of the wells of a standard sized cupcake pan.

    Then, bake the wonton cups until they are crispy (check the bottoms!) and golden brown.

    How to make wonton cups: step 3. Bake until crispy and golden brown

    How to Store Wonton Cups

    You can make these wonton cups up to one day in advance. To store them, allow them to cool completely then store in an airtight container until ready to use.

      Your instructions say to use a standard sized muffin pan, but all your pics show you using a mini muffin pan. And all the wonton cup recipes I've seen use a mini muffin pan.

        Hi Fran - I did mention that the first batch I made was in a mini muffin tin but I switched to a standard muffin pan to ensure that the wonton cups had a wide enough opening to fill easily 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by Shaken Together!

      Did you spray your muffin pan with Pam or vegetable oil?
