Ingredients
  

1 package (12 oz) wonton wrappers

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices

1/2 cup pizza sauce, plus extra for serving

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing the muffin pan

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is essential for achieving the perfect crispiness in the wonton cups.

    Prepare the Muffin Tin: Take a standard muffin tin and lightly coat each cup with cooking spray or olive oil. This will help the wonton cups release easily after baking.

      Assemble the Wonton Cups:

        - Gently press a wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, ensuring it fits snugly against the bottom and sides.

          - For an extra crunchy texture, consider layering two wonton wrappers in each cup—this will provide added stability and a delightful crunch.

            Add Pizza Sauce: Using a small spoon, dollop approximately 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce into the base of each wonton cup.

              Layer the Cheese and Toppings:

                - On top of the sauce, generously sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese into each cup.

                  - Place a few mini pepperoni slices over the cheese.

                    - If you’re using Italian seasoning, add a pinch on top of the pepperoni, followed by a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for that extra flavor.

                      Bake: Carefully place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers turn golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                        Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the wonton cups to cool for about 5 minutes in the tin. Use a fork to gently lift each cup out. Serve warm, accompanied by additional pizza sauce for dipping. If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor.

                          Enjoy: Savor your Mini Pepperoni Pizza Wonton Cups as the perfect appetizer, a crowd-pleasing party snack, or a fun new take on pizza night!

                              Presentation Tips: Arrange the wonton cups on a serving platter, drizzling extra pizza sauce around the cups for an appetizing look. Add a few whole basil leaves for a fragrant touch.
