Ingredients
Scale
Spinach and Artichoke Filling
- 10 oz package frozen spinach, thawed and drained very well
- 8 oz jar artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 4 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Wonton Cups
- 12–14 wonton wrappers
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the wonton cups.
- Prepare Wonton Shells: Carefully press one wonton wrapper into each cup of a muffin tin to form the cup shape. Lightly spray each wonton wrapper with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake the wrappers for 5 minutes to start crisping.
- Make Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the thawed, well-drained spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, sour cream, room temperature cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly combined into a creamy mixture.
- Fill and Bake: Remove the pre-baked wonton wrappers from the oven. Evenly scoop the spinach and artichoke filling into each wonton cup. Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the wonton cups turn golden brown and crispy, and the filling is heated through.
- Cool and Serve: Let the spinach and artichoke wonton cups cool slightly in the muffin tin, then carefully remove each cup. Serve warm and enjoy these crispy, creamy appetizers at your party or gathering.
Notes
- Be sure to drain the spinach very well to prevent soggy wontons.
- Using room temperature cream cheese helps the filling mix more smoothly.
- These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle additional Parmesan on top before the final bake.
- If you prefer, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the filling for a spicy kick.
