Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Spinach & Artichoke Wonton Cups
Step 1: Preheat the Oven & Prep the Wonton Cups
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, gently pressing the sides to form a cup shape.
- Lightly spray the wonton wrappers with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes, until slightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Spinach & Artichoke Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- Softened cream cheese
- Sour cream & mayonnaise
- Shredded mozzarella & Parmesan cheese
- Chopped artichoke hearts & spinach
- Minced garlic, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes
- Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Step 3: Assemble the Wonton Cups
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of the spinach & artichoke mixture into each pre-baked wonton cup.
- Sprinkle with extra mozzarella or Parmesan cheese for added cheesiness.
Step 4: Bake Until Golden & Crispy
- Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and bubbly.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

- Serve warm and enjoy your crispy spinach & artichoke wonton cups!
Tips for the Best Spinach & Artichoke Wonton Cups
✔️ Drain the Spinach & Artichokes Well – Excess moisture can make the filling watery. Always squeeze out excess water before mixing.
✔️ Use a Mini Muffin Tin – This helps hold the shape of the wonton cups while baking.
✔️ Pre-Bake the Wonton Cups – Baking the wonton wrappers for a few minutes before adding the filling keeps them crispy.
✔️ Shred Your Own Cheese – Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents that prevent smooth melting. Freshly grated cheese makes the filling extra creamy.
✔️ Don’t Overfill the Cups – Too much filling can overflow and make them soggy. Stick to about 1 tablespoon per cup.
✔️ Serve Immediately – These wonton cups taste best when they’re fresh and hot!
