Scale
For the filling:
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped (or ½ cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
- 1 cup canned or jarred artichoke hearts, finely chopped
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
For assembly:
- 30 wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
For cooking:
- Vegetable oil, for frying (or cooking spray for baking)
For serving:
- Marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or aioli for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, artichokes, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly combined and creamy. Set aside.
- Assemble the Wontons:
- Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the spinach-artichoke mixture into the center of the wrapper.
- Dip your finger into the beaten egg and lightly brush the edges of the wonton wrapper.
- Fold the wrapper into a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. For a decorative touch, fold or pinch the edges into pleats.
- Repeat the process with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling.
- Cook the Wontons:
- Frying Method: Heat about 1½ inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Once the oil reaches 350°F (175°C), fry the wontons in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Baking Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the wontons on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray or brush them with oil and bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden.
- Serve:
- Arrange the wontons on a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley or grated Parmesan, if desired. Serve warm with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or aioli for dipping.
