Sundried Tomato Wonton Cups

This morning my mother came to me and said she needed to prepare some sort of appetizer to bring with her to a potluck party. We mentally ran through our usual list of party foods, but none of them seemed appealing to either of us. I then came up with the idea to go to tastespotting.com and see if anything popped out.

As we sat on the couch and strolled through delicious pictures, we came across a recipe for a tuna wonton cup. We both decided that we liked the idea of a wonton cup, and we knew we already had wonton wrappers in the freezer. Suddenly, my mother remembered that she had previously bought a can of sundried tomatoes and we agreed that they would go well as some sort of filling. I typed in "sundried tomatoes" into the search box and strolled through the recipes until I found one that matched our needs. The original recipe that I found was this one, but we added a little bit to the ingredients to make it our own.

In the end, the appetizer worked out wonderfully and was exactly right for a casual summer get-together. The wonton cup provided a nice crisp and held its shape quite well. The micro greens at the bottom gave the appetizer a lighter feel while the blueberries balanced the saltiness of the olives, feta, and sundried tomatoes by providing a tart juiciness. We were pleased with both the taste and presentation of our little creations.

Sundried Tomato Wonton Cups

• 24 wonton wrappers
• 1 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 1 cup sundried tomatoes
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1/2 lb-1 lb crumbled feta cheese (use your judgment and decide for yourself how much to use)
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1-2 tbsp lemon juice
• Shredded micro greens

• Optional: You can season your wonton wrappers a little before baking them, like we did, by brushing them with olive oil and then sprinkling a little seasoning on top. We used an already prepared seasoning mix in our cupboard called "Garlic plus". 

Press wonton wrappers into metal tart shells and bake at 400 Fahrenheit for 8 minutes, or until lightly golden brown on top.

Mix all of the ingredients except for the micro greens in a bowl.

Fill the wonton wrappers first with the shredded micro greens, then with the mixture on top.
