1/4 t. minced fresh oregano
2 t. lemon juice
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

Salt and pepper
1 pkg won ton skins
1 egg, lightly beaten
Oil for deep frying
In skillet over med. heat cook onion and garlic in olive oil until tender.
Add spinach, pepperoni, thyme, oregano and lemon juice. Cook and stir over med. heat until spinach is wilted and most of liquid has evaporated.
Drain any excess liquid. Transfer mixture to bowl and cool 5
minutes.
Add all three cheeses to onion mixture and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Place won ton wrapper on work surface with 1 corner at bottom. Mound 1 rounded tsp. filling in center.
Moisten edges with egg and fold over to form triangle, pinching edges together to seal well.
Fill remaining wrappers in same fashion. Heat oil to 360 degrees Fry won ton in batches for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
