My new 'go to' snack/appetizer. Yummy!

This may have been posted in the past, if so, apologies.

Okay, I bought some wonton wrappers. I had never bought them before - in my store, they were near the refrigerated salad dressings and with the tofu - in the produce area.

So, take a muffin or cupcake tin, spray each area and put a wonton wrapper in each. Bake in a 375 oven for 5 minutes to set them. Take them out and fill with stuff.

First I tried turkey sausage seasoned with italian seasoning, mixed with a little pizza sauce and topped with a tiny bit of provolone cheese. (I used a cupcake tin for this one, so they were smaller than the muffin tin ones.) For the cheese, I took a slice of the Sargento Ultra Thin Sliced Provolone (40 cals per slice) and cut it in quarters. They were pretty good and were only 55 calories per cup - 5 carb, 2 fat, 5 protein.

Then I tried the really good ones. Take some cooked chicken breast meat and cream it with two wedges of Laughing Cow light. I used the plain Swiss once, and French Onion once. Both worked well. Then add buffalo sauce to taste (mine is 0 cals. per serving- a few have up to 25 cals). Again, top with a 1/4 slice of cheese and bake. These I made in muffin tins. I used a bunch of chicken - 6.5 ounces for 6 muffin cups. They ended up being 80 calories, 5 carb, 2 fat, 10 protein.

I have been taking them for mid-afternoon snacks to work. I get a decent amount of protein in the chicken ones for only 80 calories and they're yummy! I think I'll make these quite a lot during football season!

I know there are other great ideas for what to put in these cups. Like turkey with taco seasoned meat and a bit of salsa and cheese? Eggs and bacon or turkey sausage?

Enjoy!
