Ingredients
Wonton Cups
- 48 wonton wrappers
Spinach Artichoke Dip Filling
- 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 6 oz cream cheese
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 15 oz canned or jarred artichokes, chopped and strained
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the wonton cups and warming the dip.
- Prepare Wonton Cups: Spray mini muffin tins with non-stick baking spray. Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, creating a cup shape by gently molding with your fingers.
- Bake Wonton Shells: Place the muffin tins in the oven and bake the wonton wrappers for 7-8 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and crispy. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on a cooling rack.
- Prepare Spinach: Cook the frozen chopped spinach either in the microwave or on the stove until thawed. Then, place the spinach in a clean dish towel, squeeze, and ring out excess liquid thoroughly.
- Soften Cream Cheese: Heat the cream cheese in the microwave for about one minute until it is softened but not melted, making it easier to mix.
- Mix Dip Filling: In an oven-safe mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cooked spinach, chopped artichokes (strained), mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Mix well until fully blended.
- Warm Dip: Spread the dip mixture evenly in the oven-safe dish, sprinkle the top with ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, and place it in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes until warmed through.
- Fill Wonton Cups: Spoon the warm spinach artichoke dip into each cooled wonton cup, filling them nearly to the top.
- Serve: Serve the filled wonton cups warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure spinach is well drained to avoid soggy dip.
- You can use fresh spinach if preferred, cooking and draining it similarly.
- Substitute Greek yogurt with sour cream for a slightly different flavor.
- Feel free to add additional spices such as black pepper or red pepper flakes for extra kick.
- Wonton cups are best served fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to one day and reheated gently.
