Wonton wrappers are a fantastic and versatile ingredient that can elevate your appetizers to the next level. I love using them to create delicious little bites, and today, I’m excited to guide you through making Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Wonton Cups. These savory cups are perfect for parties, gatherings, or even a cozy night in.

Before we investigate the cooking, let’s gather our ingredients. For this recipe, I typically use:

• 1 package of wonton wrappers
• 1 cup of fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup of canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• 1 cup of cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 clove of garlic, minced
• ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Once you have everything ready, we can start making these delicious cups. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your wonton cups turn out nice and crispy.

Next, I prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, I combine the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Using a fork or a spatula, I mix them until they are well combined. Then, I add the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, minced garlic, garlic powder, along with salt and pepper. Mix everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Now, let’s work on the wonton cups. I take a muffin tin and lightly spray it with cooking spray or brush it with olive oil to make sure the wontons don’t stick. I then place one wonton wrapper into each muffin tin compartment, pressing it down gently to form a cup. If you want your cups to be a bit sturdier, you can layer two or three wonton wrappers in each slot, ensuring you still press them down into the shape of a cup.

After arranging the wontons, I fill each cup with about a tablespoon of the spinach and artichoke filling. I try to be generous, but be mindful not to overfill. Once all the cups are filled, I pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy.

Once they are out of the oven, I allow them to cool for a minute or two before removing them from the pan. I find they are easier to handle once they’ve slightly cooled. I love serving these Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Wonton Cups still warm, with a side of marinara or dipping sauce for an extra flavor kick.

These little bites are sure to impress everyone around you. Enjoy your cooking adventure with these simple yet delicious wonton cups!
