Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 1/2 cup (118 milliliters) frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1/2 cup (118 milliliters) canned artichoke hearts, chopped
Cheese Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup (28 grams) shredded mozzarella cheese
Seasoning and Additional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) sour cream
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the muffin tin by lightly coating each cavity with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the wonton cups.
- Carefully press a single wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, gently molding it to create a delicate, crisp vessel for the filling.
- Create the creamy filling by blending chopped spinach, diced artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese, tangy sour cream, grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper until the mixture becomes a smooth, well-incorporated consistency.
- Distribute the spinach-artichoke mixture evenly among the wonton cups, filling each one with approximately one tablespoon of the rich, flavorful blend.
- Transfer the loaded muffin tin to a preheated oven set at 350°F and bake for 12-15 minutes, monitoring the edges of the wonton wrappers until they turn a golden brown and become delightfully crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let the wonton cups rest for a few moments to cool slightly, allowing the filling to set and the crispy edges to maintain their texture before serving these delectable appetizers while still warm.
Notes
- Prep wonton wrappers carefully to create crisp, even cups without tearing for perfect presentation.
- Choose fresh, well-drained spinach and artichoke to prevent excess moisture that could make wonton cups soggy.
- Experiment with low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt for a lighter, healthier version of these appetizers.
- Customize by adding crispy bacon bits, red pepper flakes, or herbs like chives for extra flavor complexity.
