Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can prep the filling a day or two in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For the best texture, assemble and bake the wonton cups just before serving to ensure they stay crisp.

What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?

Reheat any leftover wonton cups in a 350°F oven for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through and crispy. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the wonton wrappers soggy.

What other dips or spreads could I use in the wonton cups?

The possibilities are endless! Spinach and artichoke dip, crab dip, or even a creamy buffalo chicken dip would work wonderfully in these wonton shells. It’s a versatile base that can adapt to your favorite flavors.
