On Nutrisystem, Count As: 2 Extras

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound frozen chopped spinach, thawed
  • 4 oz. low-fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • ¼ cup low-fat whipped cottage cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. chives, finely chopped
  • 4 scallions, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. onion powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 1 Tbsp. egg white

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
  2. Wrap thawed spinach in a kitchen towel and squeeze until all excess water is removed.
  3. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, except wonton wrappers. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Set up a work station with a small bowl of warm water. Place 1 Tbsp. of the filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Dip your fingers in the bowl of water and moisten the edges of the wrapper. Pull two opposite corners of the wrapper up, over the filling, and pinch together. Repeat with the two remaining corners and pinch edges together to seal.
  5. Once all wontons have been prepared, lightly brush the wontons with the egg white.
