  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • Muffin tin (12-cup)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Cutting board

  • Pastry brush
  • Cheesecloth (optional)
  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the squeezed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Lightly brush each muffin tin cup with melted butter or olive oil.
  4. Gently press a wonton wrapper into each muffin tin cup, forming a small cup shape. Don't worry if the edges extend slightly beyond the rim of the cup.
  5. Brush the inside of each wonton wrapper with melted butter or olive oil.
  6. Spoon the spinach artichoke mixture evenly into each wonton cup.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and the filling is heated through and bubbly.
  8. Let the wonton cups cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them with a spoon or fork.
  9. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, thoroughly squeeze all moisture from the thawed spinach using cheesecloth. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before incorporating it into the filling. Brush the inside of each wonton wrapper with melted butter or olive oil before adding the filling to prevent sogginess. Don’t overfill the wonton cups. Wonton cups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving. You can also use different cheese combinations, such as Gruyere or Asiago, to customize the flavor.
