Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Make-Ahead Advice: You can assemble the wonton cups a few hours in advance; just cover them tightly and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Ingredient Swaps: Don’t have a specific cheese on hand? Feel free to substitute with what you have—like gouda or cheddar!
- Perfecting Your Fill: Be sure not to overfill the cups, as the filling will expand slightly when heated.
- Storing Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days—though I doubt there will be any left!
