These crispy spinach artichoke wonton cups are easy homemade appetizers featuring a creamy cheese filling and crunchy wonton shells, perfect for gatherings and quick snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Wonton wrappers (thin, square sheets)
  • 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained (or fresh spinach sautéed and squeezed dry)
  • 1/2 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped and drained
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil or melted butter for brushing wonton wrappers

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the spinach: If using frozen, squeeze out as much water as possible. If fresh, sauté until wilted, then drain and cool.
  3. Chop the artichoke hearts finely after draining.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Stir until smooth.
  5. Fold in the chopped spinach and artichokes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix gently.
  6. Lightly brush each wonton wrapper with olive oil or melted butter on both sides. Place one wrapper into each muffin tin cup, pressing gently to form a cup shape without tearing.
  7. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling into each wonton cup, mounding slightly.
  8. Bake on the middle rack for 15-18 minutes until wrappers are golden brown and crisp, and filling is bubbly.
  9. Let the cups rest in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a small spatula or spoon.
  10. Serve warm. Reheat gently in the oven if needed.

Notes

Brush wonton wrappers liberally with oil or butter for crispiness and golden color. Drain spinach and artichokes thoroughly to avoid soggy bottoms. Press wrappers firmly into muffin tin cups to hold shape. Avoid overfilling cups. Rotate muffin tin halfway through baking for even browning. Let cups cool slightly before removing to keep shape intact. Filling can be prepared a day ahead for deeper flavor. Reheat in oven to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
