Love warm, cheesy artichoke dip? How about stuffing all that goodness into a bite-sized, pastry instead? These savory treats are ideal for causal gatherings because they’re a cinch to make and easy for guests to pick up with their fingers. The filling comes together in minutes and you can mix it up a day in advance and assemble the purses right before serving. Make sure you drain the artichokes and water chestnuts well to keep the outsides flaky when baked. If you can’t find pecorino cheese, substitute any other bold-flavored variety such as Parmesan or Gruyère. Convenient store-bought wonton wrappers can be found near the tofu in the produce section at your supermarket.
