You only need a handful of pantry and fridge staples to make these easy finger food appetizers:

For the Cups:

  • 24 wonton wrappers (square, not round)
  • Non-stick cooking spray or olive oil for brushing
  • Muffin or mini muffin pan

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup frozen spinach (thawed and well-drained)
  • 1 cup canned artichoke hearts (chopped)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat

👩‍🍳 How to Make Spinach Artichoke Wonton Cups

These wonton cups are quick to assemble and even quicker to disappear from your table.

1. Preheat Oven & Prep the Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray or brush a muffin tin with oil.

2. Bake the Wonton Shells

Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, folding the edges to create a “bowl.” Lightly spray or brush the wrappers with oil. Bake for 7–8 minutes, until crisp and lightly golden. Remove and let cool slightly.

3. Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine spinach, chopped artichokes, cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, mozzarella, parmesan, and garlic. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until creamy and well combined.

4. Fill & Bake Again

Spoon the spinach artichoke mixture into each pre-baked wonton cup. Sprinkle a little extra mozzarella or parmesan on top if you like things extra cheesy. Bake for another 8–10 minutes until the filling is bubbly and golden on top.

5. Serve Hot

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. These are best warm, but can be served room temperature for a party spread.

Pro Tip: Want to prep ahead? You can pre-bake the cups and make the filling up to 24 hours in advance — just fill and bake before serving.

🙋‍♀️ FAQs About Spinach & Artichoke Wonton Cups

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Yes — just sauté fresh spinach until wilted, then squeeze out all excess moisture before mixing into the filling.

Can I prep these ahead of time?
Yes! You can pre-bake the wonton cups and mix the filling the day before. Just assemble and bake before serving.

Can I make them in a mini muffin pan?
Absolutely! This works great for finger food or kids’ parties. Cut the wonton wrappers slightly smaller or fold them to fit.

Can I reheat leftovers?
Yes — bake at 300°F for 8–10 minutes to crisp them up again. They also reheat well in an air fryer.

Are these freezer-friendly?
Freeze pre-baked, unfilled wonton shells and the filling separately. Assemble and bake straight from frozen.
