Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly brush both sides of each wonton wrapper with melted butter.
Press the wonton wrappers into the cups of a mini muffin tin to form small tart shells.
Bake the wonton shells in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove the shells from the muffin tin and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, 1 tablespoon of chopped chives, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each cooled wonton shell with the cream cheese mixture.
Top each filled shell with a small piece of cherry tomato and a sprinkle of the remaining chopped chives as garnish.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. If chilled, allow the Top Hat Shooters to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
