Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 12 cups
Ingredients:
1 package (12-count) phyllo shells or wonton wrappers
1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven
Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange phyllo shells or wonton wrappers in a mini muffin pan. -
Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth. Add spinach, artichoke hearts, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly combined and creamy. -
Assemble the Cups
Spoon about a tablespoon of filling into each shell or wonton cup. Don’t overfill—just enough to slightly mound the top. -
Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the shells are golden and crisp. If using wonton wrappers, bake until the edges are lightly browned. -
Cool Slightly and Serve
Let the cups cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Tips:
You can prepare the filling a day in advance and refrigerate it. Just fill the cups right before baking.
If you prefer, use puff pastry squares instead of phyllo for a buttery, flaky base.
Add a small pinch of red pepper flakes for a gentle heat.
For extra cheesiness, sprinkle a bit of shredded mozzarella on top before baking.
These cups reheat well in the oven—avoid microwaving to keep the shells crisp.
