Ingredients You’ll Need

These little whipped feta wonton cups come together with just a handful of simple, fresh ingredients:

For the wonton cups:

• 24 wonton wrappers
• Olive oil spray or melted butter
• Salt

For the whipped feta filling:

• 6 oz feta cheese
• 3 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Freshly ground black pepper

topping:

• 1 Persian cucumber or 1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced or ribboned
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill or mint
• Hot honey (store-bought or mix 1/4 cup honey + 1/2 tsp chili flakes or hot sauce)
• Optional: crushed pistachios or chopped walnuts for crunch

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Wonton Cups

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gently press wonton wrappers into a mini muffin tin, shaping them to form little cups. Lightly spray or brush with olive oil or melted butter, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Bake for 8–10 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Whipped Feta

In a food processor, combine feta cheese, softened cream cheese, olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and fluffy. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. If you prefer a lighter texture, add an extra drizzle of olive oil.

Step 3: Assemble the Cups

Once the wonton cups are cooled, spoon or pipe the whipped feta mixture into each one. Top with cucumber ribbons or slices, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, and optional nuts for added crunch.

Step 4: Finish with Hot Honey

Right before serving, drizzle each cup with a touch of hot honey. This final step adds a sweet-heat contrast that truly elevates the whole dish.

Make-Ahead Tips

These cups are perfect for prepping in advance:

• Bake the wonton shells a day ahead and store in an airtight container.
• Whip the feta filling 2–3 days ahead and refrigerate in a sealed container.
• Assemble close to serving to preserve the crispness of the wonton cups.
