# Method:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
02 - Brush each wonton wrapper lightly with olive oil. Press one wrapper into each cavity of the muffin tin, pleating slightly to fit the shape.
03 - Bake the wonton cups for 5 to 7 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
04 - Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 2 minutes. Remove excess moisture if needed and let cool slightly.
05 - In a mixing bowl, combine cooked spinach, crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, egg, black pepper, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined and uniform in texture.
06 - Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the spinach-feta mixture into each pre-baked wonton cup, filling evenly.
07 - Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the filling is set and the edges of the wonton cups are crisp and golden brown.
08 - Let cool slightly before garnishing with fresh dill or parsley if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
