Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups Recipe

Introduction

These Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups are a delightful twist on the classic dip, served in crispy, golden wonton wrappers. They make a perfect appetizer for parties or a tasty snack any time you crave something savory and satisfying.

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

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Step 2: Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray. Place a wonton wrapper into each cup and spray the tops lightly. Bake for 5 minutes until the wonton cups start to turn golden, then remove from the oven and set aside.
3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine the well-drained spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Stir until well mixed.
4. Step 4: Spoon the spinach mixture evenly into each wonton cup. Return the filled cups to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the filling is heated through and the wonton cups are crisp and golden brown.
5. Step 5: Remove from the oven and let cool briefly before serving. Enjoy warm for the best flavor and texture.

Tips & Variations

• Make sure to strain the thawed spinach very well to prevent the filling from becoming watery.
• For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a bit of shredded mozzarella to the filling.
• You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier, lighter dip.
• Try topping with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan or a dash of smoked paprika before baking for a tasty twist.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated 350°F oven for about 5 minutes to crisp up the wonton cups again. Avoid microwaving to maintain their crunch.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can prepare the filling and assemble the wonton cups a few hours ahead, then refrigerate. Bake just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

Yes, use about 2 cups of fresh spinach, sautéed lightly and squeezed dry to remove excess moisture before mixing into the filling.

Wonton Cups

• 12 wonton wrappers
• Cooking spray

Spinach-Artichoke Filling

• 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

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the wonton cups and filling.
2. Prepare Wonton Cups: Place each wonton wrapper into the cups of a standard 12-cup muffin pan. Lightly spray each wrapper with cooking spray to help them crisp while baking. Bake the wrappers for 5 minutes until they begin to crisp but are not yet browned. Remove and set aside.
3. Mix Spinach-Artichoke Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped artichoke hearts, well-drained spinach, mayonnaise, sour cream, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
4. Fill Wonton Cups: Evenly divide the spinach-artichoke mixture into each pre-baked wonton cup, filling generously but without overflow.
5. Bake Filled Cups: Return the muffin pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes until the filling is warmed through and the wonton cups turn golden brown on the edges.

Notes

• Make sure to thoroughly drain the spinach to prevent watery filling and soggy wonton cups.
• You can prepare the filling mixture ahead of time and refrigerate before assembling.
• For extra crispiness, broil the cups for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning.
• Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
• Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling for a mild kick.
