Ingredients

Scale
  • Wonton wrappers
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained
  • 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Thaw frozen chopped spinach completely, then squeeze out as much water as possible using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Drain marinated artichoke hearts and chop into small 1/4 inch pieces.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, drained spinach, chopped artichokes, garlic powder (or minced garlic), onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  5. Place one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, gently pressing down to form a cup shape with corners sticking up.
  6. Fill each wonton cup with about 2 tablespoons of the spinach and artichoke mixture, avoiding overfilling.
  7. Bake for 15–18 minutes until wonton edges are golden and crispy and filling is bubbly and lightly browned.
  8. Let cups cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing with a spatula or butter knife.
  9. Serve warm for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Drain spinach thoroughly to avoid soggy filling. Soften cream cheese before mixing for smooth texture. If wonton edges brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Filling can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep wontons crispy; reheat in oven instead.
