Spinach and Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups
Yields: 24 cups
Ingredients:
24 wonton wrappers
1 cup spinach, cooked and finely chopped
14 oz can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Non-stick cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat and Prepare:
Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously coat a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Form Wonton Cups:
Place each wonton wrapper into a section of the mini muffin tin. Press them down gently to form cup shapes.
Make the Filling:
In a bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, artichokes, sour cream, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, half of the mozzarella, minced garlic, and a pinch each of salt and pepper until thoroughly combined.
Assemble:
Distribute the filling evenly among the wonton cups. Top each cup with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake:
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers turn golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Cool and Serve:
Let the cups cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm for the best flavor.
Tips and Variations:
Add Protein: Consider adding finely chopped cooked chicken or crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
Cheese Variations: Experiment with different cheeses such as pepper jack for a bit of heat.
Make Ahead: Assemble the cups ahead of time and refrigerate; bake just before serving to ensure they are warm and fresh.
Vegetarian Option: Check that your wonton wrappers are egg-free to accommodate vegetarian dietary preferences.
Kid-Friendly Tip: Top with mild cheddar to make these more appealing to children.
