👨🍳 How to Make It
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly spray a 24-cup mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, gently shaping them into little bowls.
- Brush the edges lightly with olive oil to help them crisp and turn golden during baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Mix until smooth and evenly blended.
- Spoon the cheese mixture into each wonton cup, filling them nearly to the top.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the wonton edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cups to cool for 5 minutes.
- Carefully lift each wonton cup from the pan using a small spoon or offset spatula.
- Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Serve warm while the cheese is still gooey and delicious.
