Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place vegetable oil in (1-cup) Prep Bowl. Place six wonton wrappers on Cutting Board. Lightly
brush one side of each wonton with oil using Chef’s Silicone Basting Brush. Press one wonton wrapper into each
cup of Deluxe Mini-Muffin Pan using Mini-Tart Shaper. Repeat with remaining wonton wrappers. Bake 6 minutes or
just until edges of wontons are light golden brown. Remove from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack; set aside, leaving
wontons in pan.
2. Meanwhile, coarsely chop artichokes using Food Chopper; place in Classic Batter Bowl. Remove seeds from bell
pepper and dice using Utility Knife. Using Ultimate Mandoline, grate mozzarella cheese. Using Microplane®
Adjustable Grater, grate Parmesan cheese; zest lemon to measure ½ tsp zest. Finely chop parsley using Pizza Cutter.
Add bell pepper, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, lemon zest, parsley, pressed with Garlic Press to batter bowl; mix well using Small Mix ’N Scraper®.
3. Using Adjustable Measuring Spoon, fill each wonton cup with about 1 tbsp of artichoke mixture; sprinkle with
additional Parmesan cheese. Bake 8 minutes or until edges of wontons are golden brown and cheese begins to melt.
Remove from oven to cooling rack. Remove wontons from pan; serve immediately.
