Ingredients
Scale
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
- Prep the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed and well-drained spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, sour cream, and softened cream cheese. Stir until smooth and well integrated.
- Season the Mixture: Add the minced garlic, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to the spinach mixture. Mix thoroughly to incorporate all the flavors evenly.
- Prepare Wonton Wrappers: Lightly spray a mini muffin tin or your chosen baking tray. Gently press each wonton wrapper into the muffin cups forming little cups or shells for the filling.
- Fill the Wonton Cups: Spoon a generous amount of the spinach and artichoke mixture into each wonton wrapper cup, spreading evenly and filling to the top without overstuffing.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the filled wonton cups on the middle rack and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the wonton edges are golden and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cups from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the filling set slightly and make them easier to handle.
Notes
- Ensure spinach is thoroughly drained to avoid soggy cups.
- For extra crispiness, brush the edges of won-ton wrappers with a bit of olive oil before baking.
- These cups can be made ahead and reheated in a warm oven for a few minutes before serving.
- For a low-fat version, substitute mayonnaise and sour cream with Greek yogurt.
