We have all seen the frozen appetizers in the grocery. They are simple and easy to warm up. But it takes a lot of these to feed a hungry party. Why not make your own? Sounds daunting but with the help of wonton wrappers it is simple and very cost beneficial! You can make numerous dozens of the rangoons for less than $10!

1 package wonton wrappers
1/2 container (4 ounce) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup chopped frozen spinach, well drained
1/2 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
1/2 cup mozzarella, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1/2 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a miniature muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Press the wonton wrappers into the bottom of muffin tins. Set aside.
In a medium sized bowl, mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, frozen spinach, artichoke hearts, mozzarella, parmesan cheese, salt and Tabasco. Place spoonfuls of spinach mixture into each cup. Bake for 10-13 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

Where do you buy your wonton wrappers? I’ve had trouble finding them in grocery stores around here.
I got mine in the produce section. Usually by the tofu.
