Mini Chayote Quiche Cups

I had the idea to making a frittata with the extra chayote I had in the fridge. That's when I notice the wonton wrapper I needed to use up as they were about to expire in a few days. I had to use them up. I turned them into little cups using a mini-muffin pan I had. They're pretty useful for quite a lot of recipes that require an appetizer.

I had lightly prebaked the wonton cups in the oven to help set their shape first. Then I chopped up some chayote and mixed them with some chopped green onions and a couple of beaten eggs. Baked it in the oven until they were fully cooked.

Another delicious little appetizer.

Makes 12 mini cups.

Note 1: you will need a mini muffin pan or something round with a 1-inch diameter.

Note 2: To avoid getting the sticky reside of the chayote on you hand, wear a rubber glove or plastic produce bag, then rise with some cold water before cutting into pieces.

Lightly grease the mini-muffin pan and carefully place the wonton wrappers inside the molds.

Fold and lightly crease the wonton wrappers to the edges. Baked in the oven for 2 minutes for let the wrappers harden.
