Baked Spinach Artichoke Wonton Cups
These baked spinach artichoke wonton cups combine a crispy wonton-wrapper shell with a creamy, cheesy filling made from creamed spinach, marinated artichoke hearts, and a blend of cheeses. They offer a delightful mix of textures with a hot, melted spinach dip center inside a crunchy cup, making them ideal for appetizers or party snacks.
Ingredients
- 24 wonton wrappers chilled
- 9 oz creamed spinach (frozen or freshly made)
- 3-6 oz artichoke hearts approx. 1/4-1/2 cup chopped, marinated
- 2 oz cream cheese cut into 6-8 cubes, softened
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese grated
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes crushed
- ⅛ tsp salt or to taste
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
- Cooking spray oil avocado, olive, etc
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 365 degrees F.
- Next grab your creamed spinach and warm using package instructions. Drain your artichokes and chop into small pieces. Combine with spinach.
- Gently place won-ton squares in a mini-muffin tray spritzed with spray oil. For extra crunch you can also lightly spray the won-ton wrappers themselves with a little oil.
- Bake for 5 minutes to lightly crisp.
- Combine creamed spinach with your trio of cheeses and season with garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Spoon spinach mixture into lightly baked won-ton cups and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the edges of your won-ton cups are toasty and golden brown with a hot, melty spinach dip center.
- Dive in while they're hot!
Notes
- Adjust artichoke quantity to taste, using up to half a cup for more pronounced flavor or less for milder taste.
- If artichokes are omitted, substitute with garlic or sautéed shallots/onions to maintain flavor complexity.
- Use frozen chopped spinach thawed and combined with cream cheese if creamed spinach is unavailable.
- Fresh minced garlic can replace garlic powder; sauté briefly before adding to release flavors.
- Pre-bake wonton wrappers ahead and fill just before baking again, allowing for easy party prep.
