Oven Baked Crispy Wonton Cups
Oven Baked Crispy Wonton Cups are crunchy, creamy, and cheesy appetizers made with golden wonton wrappers, cream cheese, salsa, and cheddar. They come together quickly and are perfect for parties and gatherings.
Ingredients
- 24 square wonton wrappers
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 cup thick salsa mild, medium, or hot
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend divided
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or a very thin swipe of oil.
- Press one square wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, gently nudging it down to form a little bowl while letting the corners stick up.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and salsa until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Fold 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese into the cream cheese mixture, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for the tops.
- Spoon the filling into the wonton cups, filling each one about three-quarters full.
- Sprinkle a little of the reserved shredded cheese over each filled cup.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the wonton edges are deep golden brown and crisp and the filling is hot and bubbly, rotating the pan halfway through if needed.
- Let the cups cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then gently loosen the edges with a small offset spatula or butter knife and transfer them to a platter.
- Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling for the second batch, then serve the cups warm or at room temperature.
Notes
These are best served the day they are made. Cool leftovers completely before storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven for 5 to 8 minutes until hot and crisp. Avoid microwaving when possible, as it makes the wonton wrappers floppy. Do not leave them at room temperature for longer than 2 hours, or 1 hour in very hot weather.
