Ingredients
- 10 oz package Frozen Spinach, thawed and drained very well
- 8 oz jar Artichoke Hearts, drained and finely chopped
- 1/3 cup Mayonnaise

Directions

- Gently press a wonton wrapper into each cup of a muffin tin. Lightly spray each wrapper with cooking spray.
- Bake the wonton wrappers in the oven for 5 minutes, or until they start to set.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the spinach, chopped artichokes, mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Spoon the spinach and artichoke mixture evenly into each of the baked wonton cups.

Serving Suggestions
These Spinach and Artichoke Wonton Cups pair wonderfully with a refreshing side salad or a platter of sliced veggies and dip. You can also serve them alongside a tangy marinara sauce for a unique twist. Perfect for parties, they complement a range of drinks—whether you’re serving wine, cocktails, or mocktails!
Storage & Reheating
If you have any leftovers (though we doubt it!), you can store these cups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, pop them in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, reheating in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes will keep them crispy and delicious.
Pro Tips
- Prevent sogginess: Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to avoid soggy wontons. You can even press it in a clean kitchen towel.
- Make ahead: You can prepare the filling in advance and store it in the fridge for a couple of days. Assemble and bake right before serving for maximum freshness!
- Experiment with cheese: Try using different cheeses like feta or mozzarella for extra flavor variations.
Variations
Feel free to get creative with these wonton cups! Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes for a burst of sweetness, incorporate some diced jalapeños for a spicy kick, or experiment with herbs like dill or fresh basil for a unique flavor twist. These cups are versatile enough to accommodate your taste preferences!
FAQs
Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Absolutely! Just sauté fresh spinach in a little oil until wilted, then chop and use it in the filling.
How do I make these vegetarian-friendly?
This recipe is already vegetarian, but double-check your mayonnaise choice to ensure it fits your dietary needs.
Can I use a different type of cream cheese?
Yes! You can use flavored cream cheese for an exciting spin or a dairy-free alternative to match your dietary preferences.
