Party Time..Mini Spinach Artichoke Cups


Everyone’s favorite appetizer, bite size! These mini spinach artichoke cups are perfect for entertaining and so simple to make.  The original recipe calls for wonton wrappers but while at the grocery store I saw Mini Fillo Shells in the freezer section.  I decided to give these a try because it eliminates one step and they turned out great. Make sure to chop the artichokes finely because the cups are so small.  Best served warm, bring these to your next party!


Ingredients
  • 24 mini fillo shells
  • 1 ½ cups frozen spinach, thawed and chopped
  • 1 ½ cups artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 6 oz. cream cheese
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 4 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

 1. Preheat oven to 325°
2. Place mini fillo shells on baking sheet, bake for 2-3 minutes
3.  In large bowl, mix spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, sour cream, and Parmesan cheese.  Taste mixture and add salt and pepper as needed. Add mozzarella cheese if desired.
4. Transfer mixture into piping bag or zip lock bag.  If using zip lock back, cut a medium hole from one of the bottom corners of the bag
5. Fill cooled fillo shells until the mixture almost reaches the top
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the shells are golden brown and the dip is warm, serve immediately (or reheat before serving)
