Time for wonton wrapping!

Lay the wontons out across a baking dish or large cutting board so you can work in an assembly line style.

Scoop approximately one tablespoon of the mixture into the middle of each of the wontons.

Then, with a pastry brush, brush the egg wash along the outer edges of the wonton wrappers for sealing.
