Spinach Artichoke Cups are perfect as an appetizer or side dish. They taste like bite-sized spinach artichoke dip and are absolutely heavenly!
Spinach Artichoke Wonton Cups
Who here loves the Spinach and Artichoke combo? We’ve loved Spinach Artichoke dip for as long as I can remember and were excited to try out a new recipe with the dip in cup form. We’ve been using wonton wrappers for recipes (such as our Cream Cheese wontons and Caesar Salad Wonton Cup), but to fill them with cheese and spinach and artichoke hearts and peppers made them irresistible. This has become a new favorite appetizer (think New Years, Christmas or any special occasion) and we hope you love it too!
How to Make Spinach Artichoke Cups
These are definitely best served right away – warm from the oven. Because of the delicious cheesy mixture, the cups don’t tend to last too long as they will start to get soggy.
Recipe Tips + Variations
Get ‘em while they’re hot! Well, warm anyway.
This recipe calls for 10 oz. of spinach – which is equal to one box that you will find in the frozen vegetable section of your favorite store. A handy way to wring out the spinach is to wrap it in a few layers of paper towels and then wring it out or press it out into a colander. Artichoke hearts sold in a jar are best for this recipe, but canned can also be used if needed.
Variations: Change it Up!
Add some cayenne pepper to spice them up! We suggest starting with ⅛ tsp., but you can add more to taste. Add some cooked ground sausage, chopped up bacon, or even finely chopped ham Add some cooked mushrooms, onions, or any other vegetable that you love.
Make it Ahead of Time
If you’re wanting to get a jump start on your party – you can definitely start by making these ahead of time.
Simply bake the cups, let them cool, and then seal in a Ziploc bag for up to 24 hours in advance. Make the spinach artichoke mixture beforehand too and store it in an airtight container for up to 24 hours in advance. Just place the shells back in the muffin tin when you’re ready and fill and bake.
