For an extra crispy finish, you can brush the wontons with a light coating of oil before baking. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or add other ingredients like diced onions or bell peppers to the filling. These baked wontons are best served immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for optimal crispness.
