What is in Spinach Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups?
Star Ingredients
- Wonton Wrappers - can be found at most grocery stores or your local Asian Grocer. They need to be refrigerated so you will find them in the refrigerator section of your grocery store next to the refrigerated salad dressing/dips.
- Cream Cheese - the base of the dip filling. It's the perfect rich and creamy cheese for baked dips.
- Parmesan Cheese - adds a rich cheesy flavor to the dip filling!
- Spinach - frozen chopped spinach that has been thawed and very well drained is perfect for this recipe.
- Artichokes - canned artichokes are a great ingredient to keep in your pantry for easy appetizers. Drain them very well and then finely dice them for the dip.
- Mayonnaise - this gives the dip and extra rich flavor and creamy texture!
- Mozzarella Cheese - this adds a stretchy cheese texture to the filling... who doesn't love a good cheese pull!
- Garlic - gives the dip a rich flavor!
- Cayenne Pepper - a pinch adds a great flavor to the dip.
- Salt and Pepper - to season the dip filling.

Full Printable Recipe at Bottom of Page
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine all of the filling ingredients in a bowl and mix until fully combined.
- Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Gently press each wonton wrapper into the muffin tin. The wrappers will form a cup. Spray the tops of the wonton wrappers with cooking spray or brush with cooking oil of choice. Bake until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. (Note: watch carefully so they do not burn!)
- Fill each baked cup with 1-2 spoonful's of the filling and press down.
- Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Cover the tray with foil and bake until the filling is warmed through and bubbly, about 10-12 minutes.
- Immediately remove the wonton cups from the muffin tin and transfer to a wire rack or a plate lined with a paper towel, so the cups remain crispy.
Tips for the Best Recipe
- Wonton Wrappers - can be found in the refrigerator section of grocery stores next to the tofu and refrigerated salad dressing. They are small square wrappers. You MUST pre-bake the wonton cups as per the recipe or else they will not get crispy.
- Muffin Tin - if you do not have a mini muffin tin (24 count), you can use a regular sized muffin tin (12 count). Place two wonton wrappers in the regular sized muffin tin, offset them so that the 4 corners of each wrapper do not overlap to create the cup. Follow the recipe as usual and place 2 tablespoons of the spinach artichoke dip filling into each wonton cup. Using a regular sized muffin tin will make 12 wonton cups instead of 24.
- Filling - be sure that your cream cheese is at room temperature or else the filling will be very hard to mix together. While you prep all the ingredients for the recipe leave the cream cheese on the kitchen counter. Or you can place it on a microwave safe plate and heat for 10 seconds, or until slightly warm and soft to the touch.
