Assembly Directions:

Place the filling ingredients in a food processor. Chop filling until it forms a paste.

Freezing Directions:

Place filling in a freezer container or quart size freezer bag. Seal, label and freeze.

Serving Directions:

Thaw filling completely. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin cups with cooking. Place one won ton wrapper in each cup pushing it down to cover the sides of the muffin cup.  Divide the filling evenly between the wontons. Bake 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is hot. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and serve immediately.

Comments:

You can fry these instead of baking. Make the filling as stated above but also add the green onions. Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the middle of the wrapper. Spread the filling out to form a “log” on the diagonal. Wet the edges of the wrapper and fold over to form a triangle. Press to seal. Fry in 360 to 375 degree oil until golden brown or about 3 minutes. You will need to turn them over once during the cooking process. Remove from oil and drain on paper towel. When cool, flash freeze on baking sheets. Once frozen, place them in freeze bags. To serve, reheat the wrapper in a 350 degree oven until hot, about 5 or 10 minutes. These are fun appetizers to have on hand for the holidays.
