Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that we’ve gathered our ingredients, let’s get ready to make some magic happen. Here’s how to whip these Spinach and Artichoke Wonton Cups together in a few simple steps.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This step is crucial for ensuring that the wonton cups bake evenly and get that golden-brown crispiness.
Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of fresh spinach (or 1 cup of thawed and drained frozen spinach), 1 cup of chopped artichokes, 8 oz of cream cheese (softened), 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves of minced garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until everything is well combined. The filling should be creamy and slightly chunky. Oh, and the smell? Trust me, it’s incredible!
Prep the Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil. Then, gently press a wonton wrapper into each cup, pressing it down to form a little cup. Make sure the edges slightly hang over the sides for that rustic look!
Fill the Wonton Cups: Spoon a generous amount of the spinach and artichoke mixture into each wonton cup, filling them almost to the top. Don’t worry if you get a little more than you planned, more is more!
Bake: Pop the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the wonton cups are golden brown and crispy. The filling should be bubbly too, yum!
Cool & Serve: Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes (if you can resist!). Serve warm, and watch how quickly they disappear!

To reheat, simply place them back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until they are heated through and crispy again, no microwave here, please! You want to keep that crispy texture!

Yes! You can freeze them! Here’s how: prepare them through the filling step, but instead of baking, flash freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When you’re ready to use them, bake from frozen at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes (or until golden brown). Voila!
