Acorn Squash and Feta Wontons

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.

In a microwave-proof pie pan, lay your halved acorn squash flat side down. Pour 4 tablespoons of water into dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and microwave for 6 minutes or until the meat is fork tender.

While oven is preheating and the squash is microwaving, dice 1/2 of a medium onion and toss into a hot non-stick skillet with the butter. Stir occasionally over medium heat until caramelized. Momentarily set aside.

Once you can handle your microwaved squash without giving yourself third degree burns, scrape the flesh out of the peels with a spoon and put the flesh into a medium bowl.

Fold in the rest of the ingredients – caramelized onions, spices and cheeses (feta and cream cheese). Fold until all uniformly mixed.

Spray a heavy duty non-stick baking sheet liberally with Pam baking spray.

Take out one wonton wrapper at a time and cover up the rest to avoid drying out.

In the middle of each wrapper dollop about 1 tablespoon of colorful squash mixture. With a pastry brush, brush the outside edges of the wrapper with whisked egg. Quickly fold all of the corners together.
Place on the sprayed baking sheet. Once each wonton has been placed on the sheet, spray it again with Pam to ensure that they don’t dry out while you finish the rest. Repeat the process until your filling and wrappers are used up.

Toss the pan into the hot oven for 8-10 minutes and devour while warm!
