Ingredients

Protein

  • Canned Tuna: 1 can (5 oz)

Binding and Flavor

  • Mayonnaise: 2 tablespoons
  • Sriracha Sauce: 1 tablespoon (adjust for spice level)
  • Green Onions: 2, chopped

Base

  • Wonton Wrappers: 12 wrappers

Topping

  • Shredded Cheese: 1 cup (cheddar or mozzarella)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking and achieve perfect crispiness.
  2. Prepare Wonton Wrappers: Lightly grease a muffin tin and press the wonton wrappers into each cup, creating a small bowl shape to hold the filling.
  3. Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine canned tuna, mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and chopped green onions. Stir until well mixed, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
  4. Fill the Cups: Spoon the tuna mixture into each wonton cup, filling them generously but not overflowing.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of each filled cup for a melty finish.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the wonton cups are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cups to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor experience!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients enhance the flavor significantly.
  • Don’t Overfill: Keep the filling reasonable to avoid spillage while baking.
  • Watch the Baking Time: Different ovens vary; keep an eye on the cups to prevent burning.
  • Experiment with Spices: Add your favorite spices for an extra flavor boost.
  • Chill the Filling: Chilling the tuna mixture for 30 minutes can enhance the flavors.
