Notes

Notes

It is not necessary to spray the muffin pan with cooking spray or brush the wonton wrappers with oil before baking. If using oil or cooking spray, you may need to reduce the cooking time to 8 to 10 minutes to prevent over-browning.
You can brush the wonton wrappers lightly with oil and season them with spices, if it suits your recipe.
  • For dessert-style wonton cups, yoou can brush the wrapper with butter or oil, or spray with cooking spray, and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.
  • For savory appetizers, a light coating of oil and sprinkling of seasoning salt, garlic powder or a favorite seasoning blend will given the wonton cups a nice flavor.

 

Making ahead of time

If you want to make the baked wonton cups ahead of time, simply cook them and allow to cool before placing them in an air tight container. Store in the pantry or on your countertop. Wonton cups should remain crispy and fresh for several days.

 

Tips

Some wonton appetizer recipes may required you to par bake or blind bake the cups before filling them and returning them to the oven.
Par bake for 5 to 7 minutes and remove the wonton cups from the oven when they’re crispy, but not browned. Then, fill and return to the oven and continue baking until the filling is cooked and the wonton cups are golden and crispy.
