I have to tell you, we are a bunch of couch potatoes on New Year's Eve. We sit home all snug and cozy; playing games, watching movies, eating yummy snacks and sipping a little Champagne (the kids get sparkling cider). We watch the ball drop and listen to the neighbor's fireworks and then we call it a night. So lame, right?! ;)
If we ever do decide to throw a party for New Year's I will definitely be making these! This recipe is from the Pampered Chef. I recently became a consultant with the Pampered Chef (I'm crazy for their stuff!) and I have made this recipe twice now for my cooking shows. It's so simple to prepare and it tastes fantastic; just my kind of recipe! The wonton cups are filled with a mixture of artichoke hearts, red pepper, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, grated lemon zest, garlic, parsley and mayo. Some chopped olives would be nice too. I would recommend using the round wonton wrappers in place of the square ones. The edges can be a little sharp.
Elegant Artichoke Cups
adapted from the Pampered Chef
1 tbsp vegetable oil
24 round wonton wrappers
1 can of artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, finely diced
2 tbsp chopped black olives (optional)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup grated parmesan, plus more for topping
1/2 tsp grated lemon zest
2 tsp finely chopped parsley
1/4 cup light mayo
1 clove finely minced garlic
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly brush one side of wonton wrappers. Using a tart shaper, press wrappers into mini muffin or mini tart pan, oil side up. Bake for 5-6 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Fill each wonton cup with about 1 tbsp of the mixture. Top with a little more parmesan. Place back into the oven for about 8 more minutes until edges are golden and cheese is melted.

Have a safe and joyous New Year!! XO

It sounds to me like you will be ushering in the New Year with zest!!!I would love to serve these too!!
I have to tell you that I will be doing the exact same thing as you on New Year's. Because I am lame. And because my friends and I have no desire to pay $100 to sit in a crowded bar. These artichoke cups sound delicious! I could definitely eat a few dozen!
These look so good! I love Pampered Chef. All the best with your new business this coming year. And your New Year's Eve plans sound right up my alley :-)
Sounds like my New Years Eve! Minus the kids, since mine are old enough to be out having fun!
Those look delicious! I used to make crab wontons like that... they may have even been a Pampered Chef recipe too. We're just staying in for NYE too... making a nice dinner... hanging out in comfy clothes. That's the way to do it!
Just saw your recipe on tatertots and jello and quickly became a follower! I love new recipes and this sounds delicious, I will be making soon!!!
I love the sound of your New Year's Eve plans! That's how I grew up and still prefer to spend New Year's to this day. Those artichoke cups sound delicious - I adore artichokes in any form. Happy New Year to you & look forward to more deliciousness in 2011 - Cheers!

Could you whip up a batch of these and send them my way tomorrow? I'm feeling especially lazy but I want these :) Hope your New Year is filled with joyfulness!
We're a stay-at-home family on New Year's too. But I'd be tempted to throw a party just to make these artichoke cups. I'm a big fan of artichokes and these look delicious!
This looks like a delicious recipe, Kim. I know I would like this artichoke filling. We're all for staying home on New Year's Eve too where we're safe and sound.
You will make a terrific consultant. Good luck with that and much success in the year ahead.
Have a wonderful New Year!
