Madeira Mushroom Filled Halloween Won Ton Appetizers

September 11, 2020 This post may contain affiliate links.

These crispy Madeira Mushroom Filled Won Ton Halloween Appetizers can be decorated using Halloween stamps. Each of these won tons says, “Eat, Drink, and be Scary.”

These Madeira Mushroom Filled Won Ton Halloween Appetizers are decorated in spooky sayings and stuffed with delicious filling! Add your favorite stamp to add a festive flare to your Halloween appetizers!

Every year at our Halloween party I end up serving something topped or filled with Madeira Mushrooms. Why? Because I love them and so, apparently, do my adult party guests.

This year my guests will dine on Madeira Mushroom filled Won Tons that are, of course, decorated for Halloween. A store bought rubber stamp brushed with some food coloring will add all the decoration you need for these festive appetizers.

For those of you who aren’t big fans of mushrooms, you can try other fillings like flavored cream cheese or crab rangoon or ravioli fillings. There are so many options, so have fun with it.

Eat, Drink and be Scary Madeira Mushroom Won Tons Halloween Appetizers

I used an “Eat Drink and Be Scary” rubber stamp from Studio G for this project, but any new stamp will work.

Do not use a stamp that was used for any other purpose. Also, be sure to wash your stamp in hot soapy water before starting.

Once you are done using the stamp to make your Halloween appetizers, you can use it for other purposes if you don’t plan to use it again on food.

Madeira Mushroom Filled Halloween Won Ton Appetizers

(makes 24)

Ingredients:

Madeira Mushrooms

10 ounces Cremini mushrooms (aka Baby Bella Mushrooms)
10 ounces Shiitaki mushrooms
2 tablespoons olive oil  (not Extra Virgin) or vegetable oil
2 ounces Pancetta (or bacon)
2-3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 shallot, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 roasted red peppers, finely chopped
3/4 cup Madeira Wine
1/4 cup beef broth
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated

 Won Tons
48 Square Won Ton Wrappers*
egg wash (1 egg mixed with a teaspoon of water)
black food coloring (or any other color you’d like)

Special Supplies Needed:

New, clean, Halloween rubber stamp
pastry brush and/or a clean food only sponge brush

Instructions:

Madeira Mushrooms:

Wipe the dirt off your mushrooms using a damp paper towel.

How to clean mushrooms.

  • Clean mushrooms with a damp paper towel.
    • Rinse some paper towels in water, then ring out, and use to wipe the dirt off the mushrooms.
  • Remove stems from Shiitaki mushrooms.
  • Slice and set aside.

Cook the Pancetta pieces in a skillet until crispy then drain off the excess oil on a paper towel. Then sautee shallots, garlic and roasted red pepper.

Cook the Pancetta until Crispy.

  • Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a 12″ skillet and set over medium high heat.
  • Chop the Pancetta or bacon into small pieces and sprinkle in hot pan.
  • Cook, stirring often, until crisp.
  • Remove the crispy Pancetta from the skillet, leaving the oil in the pan.
  • Set the Pancetta on a piece of paper towel to drain off any excess grease.
  • Add the shallots to the hot pan and saute until translucent.
  • Add garlic and saute for about 30 seconds.
  • Add the finely chopped roasted red peppers and cook just until all the liquid evaporates.
  • Pour mixture into a bowl and set aside.

Caramelize the mushrooms in oil a single layer in a skillet.

Caramelize the Mushrooms

  • In the same hot skillet add a little over a teaspoon of oil and a pat of butter.
  • As soon as the butter melts add a single layer of mushrooms to the pan.
  • If you crowd the pan, the mushrooms will steam instead of caramelize.
  • Once these mushrooms are brown, remove from pan.
  • Add more oil and butter to the pan and repeat the process until all the mushroom are browned.

Simmer the browned mushrooms in Madeira wine, beef broth, and balsamic vinegar then sprinkle on some freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

Flavor Mushrooms with Madeira Wine

  • Return mushrooms, Pancetta, and roasted red pepper mixture to the skillet.
  • Pour in wine, beef broth, and balsamic vinegar.
  • Scrape the bottom of the pan to remove all the brown bits and bring everything to a boil over medium high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost all of the moisture evaporates.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

At this point you can begin making your wont tons or you can refrigerate your mushrooms until ready to use. They will keep in the refrigerator for several days.

Stamp black food coloring onto half of the won ton wrappers. Brush the other half with egg wash then add a scoop of Madeira mushrooms. Top with the stamped won ton and press to seal shut.

Bake the Won Tons

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Brush a light coating of black food coloring onto the clean rubber stamp, using a foam brush or a pastry brush. Just be aware that if you use a pastry brush, the bristles will forever be tinted pink, yes, I said pink. Don’t ask me why that happens, but it does.
  • Press the stamp onto a won ton. Remove and set your won ton wrapper aside. Repeat until you have 24 stamped won tons.
  • Brush the remaining won tons with egg wash. Equally divide the mushroom mixture among them, placing a scoop in the center of each. Top with a printed won ton wrapper and press around the edges to seal tightly.

One uncooked Eat Drink and be Scary won ton and one baked won ton.

  • Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until heated through and brown around the edges, about 10 minutes.
  • They can also be fried at 375 degrees until golden brown, if you prefer.

      Hi Laurie, You use food coloring to create the stamped effect, not ink. You also need to use a new rubber stamp, one that hasn't been used for ink before and be sure to wash it before you use it.

    This is so cool! Does the egg wash smear the stamp on the wonton paper? I feel like the egg wash would ruin the stamped design?

      October 10, 2012 at 9:19 pm

      Hi B, you brush the egg wash on the plain wrappers, then put the filling in the center, then top that with the stamped won ton. So the stamped won ton never gets brushed with egg wash. Sorry if that wasn't clear in the directions.
