Ingredients
- 12 wonton wrappers
- Cooking spray
- 1/2 of a 10-oz. package frozen spinach, thawed and very well-strained
- 1 (8-oz.) can artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Preheat and prep the wonton wrappers
First, preheat your oven to 350°F. Then, grab your wonton wrappers and press them into a muffin pan. This part is really fun because it’s kind of like shaping tiny bowls! Spray them lightly with cooking spray to get that golden crisp. Bake for 5 minutes, just until they start to get lightly golden. You don’t want to over-bake them yet since they’ll go back into the oven with the filling. - Mix the creamy filling
While the wonton cups are in the oven, mix up your filling. Combine the chopped artichokes, spinach (make sure it’s really well-drained!), mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese, Parmesan, and garlic in a bowl. Stir it all together until it’s smooth and well combined. The mixture will be thick and creamy—exactly what you want. - Fill and bake
Spoon the spinach-artichoke mixture into the pre-baked wonton cups, dividing it evenly. Don’t worry if it looks like a lot—the filling will settle a bit as it bakes. Pop them back in the oven for another 10-12 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are fully golden and crispy, and the filling is warm and bubbly. Be careful not to over-bake; you want the edges crispy but not burnt. - Cool slightly before serving
Let them cool for a minute or two before serving—no one wants to burn their mouth on molten spinach dip! Plus, the flavors seem to pop even more when they’re just warm rather than piping hot.
Notes
Serving and presentation ideas
When it comes to serving these, I like to go for a simple yet chic presentation. Arrange the wonton cups on a platter with a few sprigs of fresh herbs for garnish—parsley or basil works nicely. If you’re hosting a larger party, you can even set out a dipping sauce like marinara or a zesty ranch on the side for extra flavor. These cups are rich and flavorful on their own, but they pair beautifully with a crisp, green salad or some crunchy crudités to balance out the creaminess.
