Wonton Pizza Bites

I had tomatoes and wonton wrappers to use up. I scoured Pinterest for an idea (what else do I do, right?) and I found people who did mini pizzas with wonton wrappers. So I did a take on that. You could easily sub the tomatoes I use for real pizza (or pasta) sauce too.

I doubled up on the wrappers per pizza because of the juicy tomatoes and weight of the ingredients. You could try it with just one but don't be surprised if your filling falls through. These would also make great appetizers for a party!

Ingredients:
24 wonton wrappers (homemade or you can find them at Walmart, near the tofu and organic stuff)
4 roma tomatoes (You actually might want more like 5, since two of my pizzas were tomato-less but the kids liked those ones better. My tomato hating husband though surprisingly liked the ones with tomato better. So your choice)
Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, etc)
garlic powder
onion powder
cheese
pepperoni/other pizza toppings

I also think these could be good with added mushrooms or red peppers but I didn't have any on hand.

So then you line a muffin tin with two wrappers each (no need to spray the tin, the wrappers come pre-floured). Chop up your tomatoes and mix with the seasonings. Add tomato mixture to your cups, sprinkle on cheese, add toppings. Bake at 425 for 10 minutes. Your bake time may be a little longer or shorter (they're done when the wonton wrapper is browned and the cheese is melted). I use a toaster oven that claims you don't have to preheat but I usually have to play with the time something takes to bake. In this case, they took me about 15 minutes and since I only had one 6 cup muffin pan, I had to make two separate batches.

But these were really good! Of course, I don't post bad recipes but I would definitely make these again. They remind me of a healthier version of a thin crust pizza. But don't eat too many! Besides having vegetables and seeming smaller and healthier than a slice of pizza, the calories still add up  fast!
