They look impressive, taste incredible, and disappear fast!

Ingredients You’ll Need

To make these easy Spinach and Artichoke Wonton Cups, you’ll need frozen spinach that’s thawed and well-drained so it doesn’t make the cups soggy. Add chopped artichoke hearts for tangy flavor and texture. Cream cheese creates a smooth, rich base, while mayonnaise or Greek yogurt adds creaminess with a lighter touch. Sour cream helps everything blend perfectly, and parmesan brings that savory, nutty flavor. Garlic and garlic powder boost aroma and taste. Wonton wrappers become crisp and golden, forming the perfect edible shell. For extra cheesiness, toss in a bit of mozzarella or use your favorite store-bought spinach dip instead.

How to Make Spinach and Artichoke Wonton Cups (Step-by-Step)

Prepare the Wonton Shells

First, preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking spray. Press one wonton wrapper into each cup, making sure the corners stick up a little for that crispy edge. Spray the tops lightly, then bake for 5 minutes until slightly golden. This quick pre-bake keeps the bottoms crisp later.

Mix the Creamy Filling

While the shells bake, combine thawed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, parmesan, garlic powder, and minced garlic in a mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture looks creamy and well-blended. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also fold in shredded mozzarella for an extra cheesy finish.

Fill and Bake

Spoon the creamy filling evenly into the pre-baked wonton shells. Bake for another 10 minutes or until the tops are bubbly and the edges crisp up beautifully. Let them cool slightly before removing from the tin. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Tips for Perfectly Crispy and Creamy Cups

To keep the wonton cups crispy, make sure the spinach is fully drained — squeeze out any extra moisture. Lightly pre-baking the wrappers helps prevent soggy bottoms. When filling, don’t overfill each cup; a spoonful is just right. Bake until the edges turn a light golden brown and the filling is heated through. If you plan to reheat, pop them back into the oven or air fryer instead of the microwave to bring back that crunch. The key is balancing the crispy shell with the creamy, cheesy filling for that perfect bite every time.

Flavor Variations and Add-Ins

There are so many fun ways to change things up! Swap parmesan for sharp cheddar or add mozzarella for a gooey, stretchy texture. For a lighter version, replace mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt. You can even use store-bought spinach artichoke dip if you’re in a hurry. Want to make them a bit spicy? Add crushed red pepper flakes or finely diced jalapeños. For a smoky twist, toss in crispy bacon bits or roasted red peppers. Each version adds its own unique flavor but keeps that same creamy, crowd-pleasing charm.

Make-Ahead, Storage, and Reheating Tips

You can easily prepare these cups ahead of time. Make the filling and store it in the fridge up to a day before baking. If you’re hosting, assemble the wonton shells and filling right before guests arrive, then bake fresh. Leftovers store well in an airtight container for up to three days. To reheat, use an oven or air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the wrappers soft. These are great for meal prep too — perfect little bites that reheat beautifully when done right.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

Serve these Spinach and Artichoke Wonton Cups at any party, game day, or potluck. They pair perfectly with cold drinks, sliders, or a fresh veggie platter. You can even serve them alongside other appetizers like Korean BBQ Steak Rice Bowls or Sheet Pan Beef Kebabs for a fun mix. They also make a tasty starter before dishes like Mediterranean Chicken Zucchini Bake or your favorite dinner recipes. These bites add a cozy, homemade touch to any menu.
