Wonton Cups
- 1 package (12 ounces) wonton wrappers
- Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Filling
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the wonton cups.
- Prepare Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil. Press a wonton wrapper into each muffin cup carefully to form the cups.
- Cook Spinach: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly to avoid cooking the cheese filling prematurely.
- Mix Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked spinach, chopped artichokes, softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and well combined.
- Fill Wonton Cups: Spoon the prepared filling into each wonton wrapper cup until nearly full, distributing evenly among all cups.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the wonton edges turn golden brown and the filling is bubbly and set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the wonton cups to cool for a few minutes in the muffin tin before carefully removing them. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Make sure the spinach is well-drained after cooking to prevent soggy wonton cups.
- You can substitute part of the mozzarella with cheddar for a different flavor profile.
- For extra crispiness, brush the wonton wrappers lightly with olive oil before baking.
- These can be made a few hours ahead and reheated in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
- Use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled for better flavor.
