Spinach Artichoke Cups Recipe

 Spinach Artichoke Cups are bite-sized, creamy, and cheesy appetizers that pack all the rich flavors of the classic dip into crisp, golden phyllo or wonton shells. Perfect for parties, game nights, or holiday gatherings, these little cups are easy to make, serve, and enjoy—no spoon required. Each one delivers a satisfying mix of spinach, artichokes, cream cheese, and Parmesan in a flaky shell that practically melts in your mouth.

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:

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange phyllo shells or wonton wrappers in a mini muffin pan.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
