Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Cups – delicious Wonton cups filled with your favorite dipped, topped with peppers and baked to perfection.
Spinach Artichoke Wonton Cups
Who here loves the Spinach and Artichoke combo? We’ve loved 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. In fact, this has become one of our favorite appetizers.
These cups would great even as a side to any dinner. We decided we’d most likely make them for New Years Eve since it’s a night where we make and eat only appetizers.
How to Make Spinach Artichoke Cups
This appetizer recipe is quite simple to make. Begin by placing a wonton wrapper in each spot on a muffin tin and baking for about 5 minutes.
From there you basically make an Artichoke Dip blend by combining chopped artichoke hearts, cheese, spinach, mayonnaise, garlic and peppers and mix until well blended.
Spoon about 1/4 cup into each mixture and then bake for 12-14 minutes.
Can you make the cups ahead of time?
You can bake the cups, let cool and seal in Ziploc bag for up to 24 hours in advance. You can also make the spinach artichoke mixture beforehand too and store it in an air-tight container for up to 24 hours in advance. Just place the shells back in the muffin tin and fill and bake.
How long do these Spinach and Artichoke Cups last?
We definitely recommend enjoying this warm from the oven. Because of the cheesy mixture, the cups don’t tend to last long because they start to get soggy.
These cups were also very simple and easy to make, so if you’re looking for a basic, but delicious appetizer, I highly recommend this recipe. They’re packed full of flavor and are sure to be a hit.

looks delicious Kristyn 🙂
Thanks so much Ali! They were delicious! Hope you’ll give them a try. I’d love to know what you think!
I was just talking with my husband about what a pain it is to have dips because either you have to load it up on your plate and hope you got the right amount of dippers (crackers, chips, etc.), or you end up standing/hovering at the food table (ME ha ha!). Perfect solution! I love spinach and artichoke dip! Printing this right now. 🙂
Haha..that’s funny, but so true!! These are a great solution and so yummy! Thanks so much for stopping by!
Can these be made ahead of time and eaten at room temperature without becoming soggy?
Yes, they can. I haven’t made them too in advance, so I’m not sure how long they hold up. Of course, they are better fresh & warm 🙂
I’m in love with this! What a great idea and simple recipe!
