Artichoke Spinach Spread In Wonton Baskets Recipes

Steps:

• Coat a mini-muffin tin with cooking spray and press the wontons into each tin to form a cup. Lightly coat with cooking spray and bake for 7 minutes in a 350 degree oven or until lightly brown. Remove from the oven and cool. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion, garlic and chicken granules. Cook until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach, artichokes, and cheese and continue to cook until spinach is wilted. Cool slightly and add the sour cream. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into the wonton cups.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot halfway up with vegetable oil and heat to 365 degrees F. Set a large skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Once hot add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the artichoke hearts and spinach and cook until the spinach has wilted, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, mozzarella, parmesan and warm vegetables. Stir together until the cheeses have melted and the mixture is somewhat smooth. Season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
• To shape the wontons, work with one wrapper at a time. Add about a teaspoon or two of the filling in the center. Brush the edges with egg wash and then seal into a triangle shape. Continue shaping until all the filling has been used.
• Once the oil is hot, carefully add a few of the wontons at a time and fry until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and continue frying the rest.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F and place rack in upper third of oven.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, add onion and shallots, sauteing for about 4 minutes or until softened.
• Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds, then remove mixture from heat to a bowl, set aside.
• In a food processor, process cream cheese, mayonnaise, artichoke hearts and cayenne until smooth.
• Put cream cheese mixture in a medium bowl, and add onion mix, spinach, and asiago, mixing well to combine.
• Taste and add salt if needed. Mine didn't need any with the brined artichokes and the cheese.
• Lay out 24 wonton wrappers on counter and place about 1 heaping teaspoon of mixture on each wonton.
• Wet edges of wontons with water, fold in half to make triangles, pressing edges together so they stick.
• Place on a baking sheet lightly sprayed with cooking spray and bake for 10 minutes, until bottoms and edges are beginning to brown, turn over and continue to bake for about 4 more minutes or until both sides are crisped and slightly browned.
• Serve right out of the oven.
