# What You Need:

→ Wonton Cups

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Spinach-Feta Filling

03 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 7 ounces fresh spinach, chopped (or 5 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
06 - 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
07 - 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
08 - 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt

10 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
11 - 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

13 - 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, chopped

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
02 - Brush each wonton wrapper lightly with olive oil. Press one wrapper into each cavity of the muffin tin, pleating slightly to fit the shape.
03 - Bake the wonton cups for 5 to 7 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside.
04 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 2 minutes. Remove excess moisture if needed and let cool slightly.
05 - In a mixing bowl, combine cooked spinach, crumbled feta, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, egg, black pepper, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well blended.
06 - Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the spinach-feta mixture into each pre-baked wonton cup.
07 - Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the filling is set and the edges of the wonton cups are crisp and golden.
08 - Let cool slightly before garnishing with fresh dill or parsley. Serve warm or at room temperature.
