Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray muffin tins with cooking spray.

The cooked appetizers can also be frozen. Wrap the fully cooled wonton cups carefully in Press & Seal or plastic wrap, place in a freezer bag, and freeze for up to 2 months.

Can I freeze wonton cups?

Yes, you can freeze wonton cups by placing the cooled small bites in an airtight container for up to two months. To reheat, thaw overnight then follow instructions for how to reheat wonton cups.

How Do You Reheat Wonton Cups?

Reheat refrigerated wonton cup appetizers in a 350 degree F oven for about 10 minutes, or until heated through to the center, or in the air fryer at 325°F for 7 to 10 minutes.

What fillings can I put in wonton cups?

Try these tasty jalapeno popper wontons or these artichoke wonton wrappers for two scrumptious appetizer flavors!

You can put pretty much anything in wonton cups which is one of the reasons why they make such a great appetizer!

Wonton cups with beef taco filling are delicious. Add seasoned ground beef to the wonton cups, then top with cheddar cheese and cook. Top with your favorite fixin's such as a dollop of sour cream, guacamole or salsa.
