Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Tuna (canned, in water)
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped)
- 12 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 small Red bell pepper
- 0.5 small Cucumber
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil spray.
Press a wonton wrapper into each cup of the muffin tin to form a flower shape. Lightly spray the wrappers with olive oil to help them crisp up.
Bake the wonton wrappers in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the drained tuna, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped green onions, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Finely dice the red bell pepper and cucumber. These will be used as the colorful ‘petals’ for decoration.
Once the wonton cups have cooled, spoon the tuna mixture evenly into each cup, filling them almost to the top.
Decorate the top of each tuna flower with the diced red bell pepper and cucumber, arranging them in a petal-like pattern to resemble a flower.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy the happy and snappy burst of flavors!
