Anchovy Twists

These baked wonton anchovy twists are sure to be a hit at your next party. Anchovies give flavor without a heavy fishy taste. Don't say a word and your guests will never guess these tasty appetizers were made with anchovies.


* 1 egg white, lightly beaten
* 20 square wonton wrappers (about)
* 20 anchovy fillets, drained and mashed
* 3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
* 2 Tbsp minced chives
* 1/4 cup melted butter


Mix anchovies, cream cheese, and chives until evenly combined.

Brush the edge of each wonton with egg white.

Spread about 1 teaspoon of anchovy mix in a line 1/2 inch from the edge lengthwise and up to 1/2 inch from the edge width. Roll into a log. Gently press and twist each end slightly. (At this point, you may cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 2 days before cooking.)

Brush lightly with melted butter and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 F. for 12 to 15 minutes until lightly browned and crispy. Serve anchovy twists warm.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

My hubby would probably love these. Lots of little appetizers work well for family dinners because no one on my husbands side of the family seems to get there on time.

You would never know they were made with anchovies! Let me know how they like them.
