Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Oven
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 12 pcs wonton wrappers
- romaine lettuce
- 2 pcs chicken breasts cooked and cubed
- Caesar salad dressing
- shaved parmesan
- 24 pcs cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup mini croutons
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. It's essential to get your oven nice and hot to ensure the wonton wrappers crisp up perfectly.
- Prepare your muffin tin by placing the wonton wrappers into the cups. Make sure to gently press them into the tin so they maintain their shape while baking. A light spray of olive oil will help them crisp up beautifully.
- Bake the wonton wrappers for about 9 to 11 minutes. Keep an eye on them as they cook; you want them to turn golden brown and crispy. This step is crucial for achieving that delightful crunch!
- While the wrappers are baking, take a mixing bowl and combine the chopped romaine lettuce, cubed chicken, shaved parmesan, and Caesar dressing. Mix gently until everything is well coated with the dressing.
- Once the wonton cups are done and have cooled slightly, it’s time to assemble! Scoop the salad mixture into each crispy cup generously.
- Top each filled cup with cherry tomatoes and mini croutons for an extra crunch. This is where you can get creative—arrange them as you like!
- Serve immediately while the wonton cups are still warm. You'll want to enjoy them right away for the best texture and flavor.
- If you have any leftover filling, keep it in the fridge for a quick snack later. These cups are best enjoyed fresh, but the filling can be used in salads or wraps.
- Enjoy your delicious Caesar Salad Cups with friends and family; they will surely impress!
- Don’t forget to share your experience and any variations you tried. Cooking is all about having fun and making it your own!
Notes
If you have any leftover Caesar Salad Cups, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, keep in mind that the wrappers may lose their crispiness.
