Cheesy pillows are the name my daughter came up with for these yummy, cheesy, meaty delicious bites. You can fill them with any meat-cheese-veggie combo and they can be served as a side with dinner, as an appetizer or as hors d'oeuvres at a party. They do take a while to put together but they cook really quickly and are totally worth it. Today I made veggie pillows as a side for dinner and nutella banana pillows for dessert.
INGREDIENTS
1 package of wonton wrappers
1 cup cherry tomatoes cut in half
1 cup cooked spinach
Fresh fontina cheese
Cream cheese
First assemble the pillows. Have a small bowl with water set next to you. Place a tomato half, some spinach, a piece of fontina and a dab of cream cheese in the center of the wonton. Then dip your finger in the water, moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper and fold all four corners into the center as pictured below. Repeat till you're done with all the wrappers.
Heat a pan with a coating of olive or canola oil and then cook the pillows. They cook really fast - just a minute or two on each side so don't leave the pan. Then serve :)
For dessert pillows do the same thing except fill with dessert ingredients - we used nutella, banana slices and a few chocolate chips. Sprinkle with powdered sugar after cooking - so yummy!!!
