Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything that goes into these flavorful Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups:
- 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
How to Make Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups
This recipe comes together so quickly, you’ll barely have time to take a sip of coffee before the oven timer starts beeping.
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Grab a standard 12-cup muffin pan and gently press a wonton wrapper into each cup. Don’t worry about making them perfect—rustic is charming, especially when cheese is involved. Give them a light spritz of cooking spray.
Bake for 5 minutes, just until they start to firm up.
Step 2: Mix the Filling
In a medium bowl, stir together the chopped artichoke hearts, very well-strained spinach (trust me—too much moisture ruins the party), mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese, Parmesan, and garlic.
This mixture is creamy, savory, and the heart of your Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups charm.
Step 3: Fill and Bake
Divide the filling evenly among the pre-baked wonton cups.
Return the muffin pan to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the filling is warm and the wonton edges turn golden and crispy.
That’s it. Really. The hardest part is resisting the urge to eat them straight from the pan.
Mounia’s Helpful Tips for Perfect Wonton Cups
A little guidance from my kitchen to yours:
1. Squeeze that spinach like it owes you money.
If the spinach is too wet, the filling can get soupy. Wrap it in a paper towel or clean kitchen towel and squeeze well. Your wrists get a mini workout—bonus!
2. Want them extra golden?
Lightly spray the edges of the wonton wrappers before baking. They’ll crisp up beautifully.
3. Make them ahead.
You can prepare the filling a day in advance. Store it covered in the fridge, then assemble and bake when you’re ready. Perfect for party prep.
4. Add a kick.
A dash of red pepper flakes or a sprinkle of smoked paprika adds a subtle heat that pairs perfectly with the creamy dip.
5. Double the batch—you’ll thank me later.
These disappear fast. Especially if you have cheese lovers in the house (so… basically everyone).
A Little Story From My Kitchen
The first time I made these Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups, it was after one of those long days where everything goes off the rails—emails, errands, and a toddler meltdown for the ages. I needed something comforting but effortless.
When these came out of the oven, warm and golden, the whole house smelled like a cheesy hug. Even my picky eater (who typically runs from anything green) reached for seconds. That’s when I knew this recipe was a keeper.
FAQs About Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups
Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Absolutely. Just sauté it down, chop it finely, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Keeping the filling thick helps the wonton cups stay crisp.
How do I store leftovers?
Place cooled cups in an airtight container. They’ll keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to revive that crunch.
Can I make these Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups in an air fryer?
Yes! Air fry at 350°F for 6–8 minutes. They crisp up beautifully.
Can I swap the Parmesan?
Sure—mozzarella or a mix of Italian cheeses work well. Just keep the ratio similar so the texture stays creamy.
Can I freeze them?
You can freeze the filling, but not the baked wonton cups—they lose their crispness. Prepare fresh cups when you’re ready to bake.
