Tips & Variations

• For extra cheesiness, sprinkle some shredded mozzarella or Parmesan on top before baking.
• Try using flavored ranch dressing or adding garlic powder for extra depth of flavor.
• Use fresh spinach lightly sautéed if you prefer over frozen spinach.

Storage

Store any leftover wonton cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving to keep the wonton cups crisp.

• 1/2 cup Ranch Dressing
• 2 oz Cream Cheese, softened

Wonton Cups

• 24 Wonton Wrappers
• Oil, for brushing muffin tin

Instructions

1. Preheat and prepare muffin tin: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly brush a 12-cup muffin tin with oil to prevent sticking.
2. Shape wonton cups: Line each muffin cup with two wonton wrappers, staggering them to create a star shape for an attractive presentation.
3. Pre-bake wonton cups: Bake the empty wonton cups for 5 minutes until they are lightly golden and crisp. Remove from oven to cool slightly.
4. Prepare filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped artichoke hearts, thawed and squeezed-dry spinach, Ranch dressing, and softened cream cheese. Mix well until creamy and evenly blended.
5. Fill wonton cups: Spoon the spinach artichoke mixture evenly into each pre-baked wonton cup, filling them generously but not overflowing.
6. Final bake: Return the filled wonton cups to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the filling is hot and bubbly, and the wonton edges turn a deeper golden brown. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

• Make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the spinach to avoid soggy filling.
• Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and a smoother filling texture.
• You can substitute Ranch dressing with other creamy dressings like Caesar or a garlic aioli for different flavor profiles.
• Ensure wonton cups are baked lightly before filling to keep them crispy.
• Serve immediately for the best crispy texture; leftovers can be reheated but may lose some crispness.
