Scale
Wonton Cups
- 24 chilled wonton wrappers
- Spray oil (avocado, olive, or other), for greasing
Spinach Artichoke Filling
- 9 oz creamed spinach (frozen or freshly made)
- 3–6 oz marinated artichoke hearts (approx. 1/4–1/2 cup chopped)
- 2 oz softened cream cheese (cut into 6–8 cubes)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4–1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/8 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 365 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the wonton cups.
- Prepare the spinach and artichokes. Warm the creamed spinach according to the package instructions, if using frozen. Drain the marinated artichoke hearts well and chop them into small pieces. Combine the warmed spinach and chopped artichokes in a bowl.
- Arrange wonton wrappers. Lightly spray a mini-muffin tray with oil. Gently place each wonton wrapper into the muffin cups. For extra crispness, you may lightly spray the surface of the wonton wrappers with a little oil as well.
- Partially bake the wonton cups. Bake the cups for 5 minutes. This pre-baking step crisps the wrappers slightly, creating a sturdy base for the filling.
- Make the cheese and spinach filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the warmed creamed spinach and artichoke mixture with cream cheese cubes, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the filling is creamy and well-seasoned.
- Fill and bake again. Spoon the prepared spinach and cheese filling evenly into each pre-baked wonton cup. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the wonton edges are golden brown and toasty.
- Serve hot. Remove from the oven and serve the spinach artichoke wonton cups immediately while hot and melty for the best taste experience.
Notes
- You can use either frozen creamed spinach thawed and warmed or freshly made creamed spinach for freshness.
- Adjust crushed red pepper flakes according to your preferred spice level or omit for mild flavor.
- Lightly spraying the wonton wrappers before baking will enhance crispiness but is optional.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the wonton wrappers with gluten-free wrappers if available.
- These cups are best enjoyed freshly baked for maximum crispness and melty filling.
