Preparation
Place the cream cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper in a bowl. Still until well blended.
Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Place a wonton wrapper on a flat surface and drop 1 ½ teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture into the center. Brush the edges of the wonton with the egg.
Bring 2 opposite corners together in the middle of the wonton and pinch. Repeat with the other 2 corners and pinch to form a package shape.
Repeat with the remaining wontons and cream cheese until all are filled.
Heat 4 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350 degrees F.
Fry 5 to 6 wontons at a time, turning them as needed to make sure they brown evenly. This process should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Drain the cooked wontons on paper towels and repeat the frying process with the remaining wontons.
In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, parsley with a pinch of salt.
Serve the wontons immediately, with the tomato mixture spooned over the top or served on the side.
