01 - 24 square wonton wrappers
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

→ Filling

03 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 4 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped
06 - 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
07 - 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
08 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

10 - 1 large egg
11 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
12 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
13 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

# Step-by-Step:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.
02 - Brush each wonton wrapper lightly with olive oil or melted butter. Press one wrapper into each muffin cup, shaping gently to fit the contours.
03 - Bake the wonton shells for 6 to 7 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
04 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook, stirring, until wilted, approximately 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
05 - In a mixing bowl, combine feta cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, egg, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Stir in the cooled spinach mixture until well combined.
06 - Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of filling into each pre-baked wonton cup, distributing evenly.
07 - Return to oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the filling is set and the edges are golden brown.
08 - Cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They're deceptively elegant—guests think you spent hours in the kitchen when you really just spent 35 minutes total.
  • The filling is so versatile you can prep it ahead and assemble everything the morning of your gathering.
  • Every single cup tastes like a little Mediterranean escape without requiring you to leave your kitchen.
02 -
  • Don't skip draining the spinach properly—excess moisture is the enemy of a crispy wonton cup and will make your filling watery and disappointing.
  • The egg in the filling is essential because it helps everything set properly; don't leave it out even if you're tempted to make it dairy-free.
03 -
  • Use a small ice cream scoop to portion the filling evenly—it looks more professional and ensures every cup is equally generous.
  • If your wonton wrappers are drying out while you work, cover them with a damp paper towel so they stay pliable and easy to shape.
