I’m guessing that because tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, many of you probably have some party plans. Just in case those plans include food, I wanted to share one last appetizer fit to ring in the New Year. With smoked salmon, fresh dill, cream cheese, sour cream and a little garlic all piled into a crispy wonton cup these little bites are sure please all of your party attendees.

This is essentially smoked salmon dip in a cup. I have already made a smoked salmon dip but with this recipe I decided to use the winning combination of smoked salmon and dill.  While it tasted great on its own, I knew that I didn’t want to serve just another dip. I wanted to make it a little prettier on the plate so I decided to bake some wonton wrappers and spoon the mixture inside. The result was the perfect bite of crunch and creaminess.

Makes 8

You will need:

• 8 round wonton wrappers
• olive oil
• 4 ounces cream cheese softened
• 1 tablespoon fat free sour cream
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish
• 1/2 cup flaked smoked salmon
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Brush both sides of wonton wrappers lightly with olive oil. Place in cupcake pan. Push down lightly to form cups. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until browned.
3. Meanwhile, in a bowl combine remaining ingredients until mixed well.
4. When wontons wrappers have browned, remove from oven and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Transfer to a plate.
5. Spoon tablespoon of smoked salmon mixture into cups. Garnish with chopped fresh dill.
6. Serve.

Enjoy!
