Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 can (14 ounces / 397 grams) marinated artichokes, drained and chopped
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Cheese Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings and Wrappers:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 20 wonton wrappers
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375F (190C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cooking surface.
- Create a unified filling by thoroughly blending cream cheese, chopped artichokes, finely minced spinach, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and garlic powder until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Lay out individual wonton wrappers on a clean, dry workspace.
- Carefully center a precise spoonful of the prepared mixture onto each wrapper.
- Delicately dampen the wrapper edges using water, then fold diagonally to form triangular pockets.
- Firmly press and seal the edges to ensure the filling remains enclosed during baking.
- Arrange the formed bites on the prepared baking sheet with slight spacing between each piece.
- Lightly mist the tops with olive oil spray to promote golden, crispy exterior.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown color and crisp texture.
- Remove from oven and let cool briefly before serving alongside a complementary dipping sauce of choice.
Notes
- Swap cream cheese for dairy-free alternatives like cashew cream to accommodate vegan or lactose-intolerant guests.
- Prevent soggy wonton wrappers by thoroughly draining spinach and artichokes, squeezing out excess moisture before mixing.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like sharp cheddar or goat cheese to create unique flavor profiles.
- Enhance crispiness by brushing wonton wrappers with egg wash before baking, ensuring a golden, crunchy exterior.
