What You’ll Need

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 package wonton wrappers
Salt and pepper to taste

Let’s Make It Together

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté garlic until fragrant.
Add chopped spinach and artichokes, and cook until spinach is wilted.
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, and the sautéed mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
Grease a muffin tin and press wonton wrappers into each cup to form a shell.
Fill each wonton cup with the spinach and artichoke mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the wonton edges are golden and crispy.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Fun Ways to Customize It

Add Crushed Red Pepper Flakes: For a zesty kick, add some crushed red pepper to the filling. It will elevate the flavor profile and add a lovely heat.
Use Different Cheeses: Swap out the mozzarella for a tangy goat cheese or a rich cheddar for a different twist.
Incorporate Other Vegetables: Feel free to add some diced bell peppers or mushrooms into the sautéed mixture for extra texture and flavor.
Top with Fresh Herbs: A sprinkle of fresh parsley or dill on top of the finished cups adds a bright, fresh flavor.

My Best Kitchen Secrets

Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling a few hours in advance and assemble the cups just before baking. This is perfect for entertaining!
Wonton Wrapper Tip: If you can’t find wonton wrappers, you can use phyllo dough sheets or even pastry dough, though baking times may vary.
Storage Suggestions: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for 5-10 minutes to regain their crispness.
Experiment with Flavor: Try adding different herbs like thyme or basil for an aromatic touch.
