What You’ll Need

Gather up these simple ingredients to create your Spinach Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups:

24 wonton wrappers
8 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature, 1 brick)
1 can artichoke hearts in water (drained and finely chopped, approximately 14 oz. can)
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ cup parmesan cheese (shredded)
¼ cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1 cup chopped frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
2 cloves garlic (finely minced)
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

How to Make Spinach Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine all the filling ingredients: cream cheese, artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, parmesan, mozzarella, spinach, garlic, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
Gently press each wonton wrapper into the muffin tin, creating little cups. Spray the tops of the wonton wrappers with cooking spray or lightly brush them with your choice of cooking oil.
Bake the wonton cups in the oven for about 6-8 minutes or until golden brown, carefully keeping an eye on them to avoid burning.
Once baked, fill each cup with 1-2 spoonfuls of the delicious filling, pressing down gently to pack it in nicely.
Cover the muffin tray with aluminum foil and return to the oven. Bake until the filling is warmed through and bubbly, about 10-12 minutes.
Immediately remove the crispy wonton cups from the muffin tin and transfer them to a wire rack or a plate lined with paper towels, ensuring they stay crispy.

AIR FRYER Cooking Option

For an air-fried version, use silicone muffin liners or a smaller mini muffin tin that fits in your air fryer. Prepare as per the recipe and set the air fryer temperature to 350°F (175°C). Cool them for 5 minutes before digging in.

Delicious Variations to Try

Add Some Heat: Incorporate diced jalapeños for a zesty kick that will warm up your taste buds.
Loaded Veggie Cups: Mix in diced bell peppers, green onions, or even sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.
Herbed Delight: Add fresh herbs like dill or basil to give the filling a fresh and aromatic twist.
Cheesy Spin: Swap in different cheeses, like feta for a tangy twist or gouda for a richer flavor.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make-Ahead Magic: Prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Assemble and bake just before serving for fresh, crispy cups.
Ingredient Swaps: If you’re out of cream cheese, a blend of sour cream and Greek yogurt can work as an excellent substitute.
Storage Suggestions: Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for that fresh-baked crunch!
Crispy Perfection: Ensure your wonton wrappers are dried properly before baking; this will keep them crispier for longer.
