Pro Tips for Making Wonton Wrapper Cups

Be careful not to overfill your wonton cups, as they can become difficult to remove from the muffin tin if overflowing.

Experiment with different fillings such as shrimp, vegetables, or even a sweet filling using fruit and cream cheese.

If you want extra crispiness, spray the tops of the cups lightly with cooking spray before baking.

Prepare your filling ahead of time and assemble the cups just before baking to save time.

Serve with a side of marinara or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
