 In my last post, I wrote about my roasted eggplant spread that I served for appetizers at our first book club meeting. I also wanted to add some yummy-tasting  appetizers with a wow factor to our meeting. It was like magic. I transformed good old won ton wrappers into the cutest little cups by simply brushing some melted butter over them and arranging them in a mini muffin pan to bake in the oven. How easy is that—and makes a great presentation. The only trick is that you have to own a mini muffin pan. If you don’t, maybe your neighbor or friend has one you can borrow. I deserve no credit for this idea, but my passion for collecting recipes does. This little jewel was hiding in my appetizer folder. It came from an old Sunset magazine.

A pretty and tasty sounding appetizer. Perfect with a glass of white wine.

Your wrappers turn out so beautifully. Last time I tried it I felt like I was all thumbs and got wonton balls not cups! GREG

Making these cups was surprisingly easy , I just stuck them in the muffin cup pan after I smeared them with butter and it worked. Usually I'm not really good with this stuff.

Oh sqeeeeee!!! They are so cute. They sound delicious. I'd be proud to serve them to my guests. (Of course mine would not look nearly as good... ) Hugs.

You can do it Teagan, just smear a lot of butter on them and then write a story that goes with it. Hugs!

You make these sound easy! I must get some mini muffin tins as I have seen other recipes I would like to try. Must print up this one as they look so different than the usual appetizers. As usual...you are an inspiration! Thanks for the recent visit to my blog!

Thanks Maureen, they are cute and taste good. You can make the cups ahead of time and fill them with anything you want. I'm thinking of filling them the next time with a decadent, rich salmon or duck rillettes.

This is truly a jewel of a recipe! I love everything about it. Printing because I know I will make this one day. We could eat smoked salmon every day. Lovely!

I cannot imagine a tastier or prettier way to start a book discussion. I will remember this (actually, I will file it) for future use. I'm hosting our book group in June. Hmmmmm?

Gerlinde - In a way, these would make a perfect light dinner with a glass of crisp white wine. Sometimes, hors d'oeuvres for dinner is my favorite thing.

I also like them with Champagne and yes David hors d'oeures make great dinners and lunches.
