These Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups are a cozy mix of creamy spinach artichoke dip tucked into crisp wonton shells. Each bite is cheesy, golden, and perfect for fall gatherings, game nights, or quick make-ahead appetizers.


Ingredients

24 wonton wrappers

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped and lightly sautéed

½ cup artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped

4 oz cream cheese, softened

¼ cup sour cream

¼ cup mayonnaise

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 clove garlic, minced

Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Cooking spray or a little melted butter for brushinga


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Lightly grease a muffin tin.
  2. Bake shells: Press each wonton wrapper into a muffin cup. Bake 6 minutes until the edges are light golden.
  3. Make filling: In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in spinach, artichoke hearts, garlic, Parmesan, mozzarella, and seasonings.

Notes

You can prepare the filling one day ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake.

Frozen spinach works fine if you squeeze out all extra moisture.

Add diced jalapeños, bacon bits, or roasted garlic for a twist.

Reheat leftovers in a 325 °F oven for 5 minutes to restore crispness.

Main Ingredients

  • Wonton wrappers – bake into light, crisp shells that hold the dip perfectly.
  • Fresh spinach – I sauté it just until it wilts for color and flavor.
  • Artichoke hearts – chop them fine for that soft, tangy bite. I use the same ones I keep on hand for my artichoke dip.
  • Cream cheese – smooth and creamy, the base of the filling.
  • Mayonnaise and sour cream – add balance and keep the texture fluffy.
  • Parmesan and mozzarella – one for saltiness, one for that perfect melt.
  • Garlic and a hint of red pepper flakes – just enough to warm the flavor.

Optional Add-Ins

You can stir in a spoon of roasted garlic or a handful of diced jalapeños for a little heat. When I want a sweeter twist, I blend in a touch of my cranberry cream cheese dip for contrast. The result is creamy, tangy, and completely irresistible, just like my go-to spinach artichoke dip.

Step-by-Step: How to Make It

Step 1 – Prepare the shells

Step 1 – Prepare the wonton shells in a muffin tin for Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups.

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Gently press each wonton wrapper into a muffin tin cup, shaping it to create a small bowl. Bake for about 6 minutes, just until the edges turn lightly golden. They’ll finish crisping once filled.

Step 2 – Make the filling

Step 2 – Make the filling with spinach, artichoke, and creamy cheeses for Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups.

In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, garlic, and both cheeses. I like to save a little extra Parmesan for the top so it gets slightly browned when baking. This creamy mix reminds me of my spinach artichoke dip, only lighter and easier to serve.

Step 3 – Fill and bake

Spoon a tablespoon of filling into each pre-baked shell. Return them to the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until bubbly and golden around the edges. They should smell rich and savory, like my baked brie bites with cranberry just before they’re ready to pull out.

Step 4 – Cool and serve

Make It Your Own (Variations, Storage & Serving)

Easy Variations

Serving Ideas

These little cups fit perfectly on any fall dips and appetizers tray. I love serving them beside my mini caprese skewers or a batch of bisquick sausage balls. Their crisp texture pairs beautifully with soft, cheesy snacks and light, fresh options.

Storage & Reheating Tips

If you have leftovers, cool them completely before storing in an airtight container. Keep them in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, pop them into a 325°F oven for about five minutes until warm and crisp again. Avoid microwaving, since it softens the shells.

For holiday spreads, I sometimes bake the shells a day early and fill them right before guests arrive. It saves time and keeps everything tasting fresh, just like my make-ahead wonton cups appetizers.

Final Thoughts & Kitchen Invitation

These Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups always bring a cozy, homemade feeling to my table. The creamy filling and crisp shells remind me why I love simple recipes that make people gather around and smile. Whether you serve them for game night or your next fall dinner, they fit right in with all your favorite wonton cups appetizers and spinach artichoke dip favorites.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I make these wonton cups ahead of time?

Yes, absolutely. You can bake the wonton shells a day in advance and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Then, fill and bake them right before serving. That way, they stay crisp and fresh without extra effort.

Can I freeze Spinach-Artichoke Dip Wonton Cups?

It’s best to freeze the filling separately rather than the assembled cups. The wonton shells lose their crunch once thawed. Freeze the filling in an airtight container for up to two months, then thaw overnight and spoon it into freshly baked shells when you’re ready to serve.

Can I use frozen spinach?

Yes, just make sure to thaw and squeeze out all the excess water. Too much moisture can make the filling runny. Fresh spinach gives a brighter flavor, but frozen works perfectly for busy days.

What cheese combination works best?

I love using equal parts Parmesan and mozzarella. The Parmesan adds saltiness and depth, while the mozzarella melts beautifully for that creamy pull. You can also mix in a little cheddar if you like a stronger flavor.

What should I serve with these?

They pair beautifully with other fall dips and appetizers like my cranberry cream cheese crescent bites or a warm spinach artichoke dip. Add a few sausage cheese balls on the side for a full party tray that everyone will love.
