Ingredients:
- 24 chilled wonton wrappers
- 9 oz creamed spinach (frozen or freshly made)
- 3-6 oz marinated artichoke hearts, chopped (approx. 1/4-1/2 cup)
- 2 oz softened cream cheese, cut into 6-8 cubes
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4-1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/8 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- Spray oil (avocado, olive, etc.)
Directions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 365°F (185°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the wonton cups and filling.
2. Prepare the Spinach and Artichokes: Warm the creamed spinach according to the package instructions, or if using freshly made, ensure it’s heated through. Drain the marinated artichoke hearts and chop them into small pieces. Mix the chopped artichokes into the warmed spinach, combining well.
3. Prep the Wonton Cups: Lightly spray a mini-muffin tray with oil to prevent sticking. Gently press a wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, allowing the edges to fold slightly. For an extra crispy texture, lightly spray the wonton wrappers themselves before baking. Bake the wonton cups in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, just until they start to crisp up.
4. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamed spinach and chopped artichokes with the softened cream cheese, parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
5. Fill and Bake the Wonton Cups: Spoon the spinach artichoke filling into each pre-baked wonton cup, filling them generously. Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the wonton edges are golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the wonton cups from the oven and serve them hot. The filling will be warm, melty, and packed with flavor, making these the ultimate finger food for your guests.
