Ingredients
Scale
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 9 oz (255 g) creamed spinach
- 3–6 oz (85–170 g) marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
- 2 oz (57 g) softened cream cheese
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup grated mozzarella cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼–½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- spray oil (avocado, olive, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat: Calibrate oven to 365°F (185°C) for optimal wonton cup transformation.
- Prepare Filling: Warm creamed spinach per package instructions. Finely dice marinated artichokes. Blend spinach, cream cheese, parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper into a cohesive, vibrant mixture.
- Craft Vessels: Generously spray mini-muffin tray with cooking spray. Drape wonton wrappers into each cavity, creating delicate cups. Lightly mist wrappers for enhanced crispiness. Bake for 5 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Assemble: Spoon spinach-cheese mixture evenly into pre-baked wonton cups, ensuring precise distribution and balanced flavor profile.
- Final Bake: Return tray to oven for an additional 5 minutes. Monitor until cheese melts completely and edges achieve a tantalizingly golden-brown finish.
- Serve: Extract from oven immediately. Present while filling remains molten and wonton cups maintain their delicate, crisp texture.
Notes
- Wonton Wrapper Pro Tip: Select thin, fresh wrappers that fold easily without tearing for perfect crispy cups.
- Cheese Melting Technique: Blend cheeses at room temperature to create smoother, more uniform filling consistency.
- Crispiness Guarantee: Pat artichokes dry before mincing to prevent excess moisture and maintain wonton cup crunchiness.
- Portion Control Trick: Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon for precise, consistent filling of each wonton cup.
