Warm n’ Crispy Pizza Bites

My throat hurts….

I don’t know if this is due to the fact that I cannot stop eating Nutella by the spoonfuls or because of the three pesky but totally adorable kids who makes me shout every three minutes…

I wonder, is this fate telling me to stop eating sugar for a while and go on a diet??

Oh I will, fate…believe me, I have every intention of losing these extra pounds…

You just have to wait for, oh I dunno,  six days for me to start, hee……

Six more days because….

I have this lunch thing on friday, and another lunch thing on tuesday and probably a lunch-slash-afternoon thing on monday.

Lunch is my favorite meal of the day…*sigh*

It’s just difficult for me to say no to a lunch invite….and these wonderful people keep on inviting me for lunches…

I love them..but I have to stop for a while because we have this big summer vacation coming up….

and I’d definitely wanna be seen in a sundress and a bikini — with cover-ups, of course. LOL!

One of the dishes that I prepared for the new year are these beautiful pizza bites.

I think these are the perfect finger food because they are crunchy and has the explosive pizza flavor without being your ordinary day-to-day pizza. And since it is finger food, it’s a multitasker’s ideal snack –perfect when you’re reading a book, playing online bingo or chatting with your friends and browsing the internet.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ½ tsp dried basil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup pizza sauce {I used a storebought, sweet pizza sauce}
• 3 ounces finely chopped pepperoni or salami {I used salami}
• wonton wrappers
• 2 tbsp canola oil for greasing the muffin pan

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, oregano, basil and garlic. Mix well with s fork.
2. Lightly grease a mini-muffin tin pan with oil and press one wonton wrapper gently into the muffin tin, carefully but firmly pressing it into the sides of the cups.
3. Bake the wonton wrappers for 4-6 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove the pan from the oven and keep the wonton wrappers in the mini cups.
4. Put a dollop of the cream cheese mixture into the bottom of each wonton cup. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Top with a teaspoon or so of the pizza sauce. Sprinkle with chopped pepperoni/salami.
5. Bake for 5 more minutes until the filling is bubbly and wonton edges are golden brown. Serve warm!

See this? Everything’s better in a crispy wonton cup…..
