They’re so easy to make, and I like to serve them accompanied by a few other easy party snacks like Brown Butter Pan Roasted Almonds and homemade Cheez It crackers.
This recipe is from my cookbook, Small Bites: Skewers, Sliders, and Other Party Eats (Gibbs Smith, publisher), and the beautiful photos are by Jessica Nicosia-Nadler.

The crispy little wonton cups are easy to make and fill.
Your guests will love these golden brown little bites, which are easy to pick up and eat.
The artichoke cheese filling melts in the oven, making the perfect crispy, melty appetizer.
Make it ahead! If you like, the filling and crispy wonton cups can be made in advance (see directions in the recipe.) On party day you can fill the appetizers, pop them in the oven, and you’re done!
Ingredients and Substitutions
Here’s what you’ll need to prepare these artichoke dip wonton cups:
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese – I like freshly grated Parmesan, but you can even use the stuff in the green can in this recipe.
1/2 cup mayonnaise – Real mayonnaise is best in this recipe.
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder – You can also substitute 1 small garlic clove, peeled and minced, if you prefer.
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese – You can substitute another mild cheese like Colby or Havarti if you prefer
1/2 cup canned water-packed artichoke hearts, drained and chopped – You can also use frozen, thawed, steamed artichoke hearts if you prefer.
24 wonton wrappers – Round or square wonton wrappers both work well for this recipe.
Chopped fresh chives – for garnish. You can use fresh parsley if chives aren’t available.

Ha! Hope you had some good eats over the weekend, Cat. xo
I like the idea of doing a crab cheese wonton filling for the first one, too. Oh, the possibilities are endless!
That’s a great idea, Elaine. I always love hearing about your creative culinary pursuits! xo
