Ingredients

Scale
- 10 oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained with excess liquid squeezed out (about 1/2 cup, packed)
- 14 oz can artichoke hearts, finely chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
- 8 oz regular cream cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded parmesan
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 clove garlic, minced (feel free to add more if you love garlic)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- Mini phyllo pastry shells (4 to 5 dozen)
Instructions
- Set the cream cheese out to soften. You can also put it in the microwave on defrost to soften it faster.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Next, finely mince the garlic. Chop the artichoke hearts into small pieces.
- Remove as much moisture from the spinach as you can by squeezing it with paper towels.
- Add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, salt, and pepper to a medium bowl and mix until well combined.
- Next, add the spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, and shredded parmesan cheese. Mix well.
- Arrange the phyllo shells onto a baking sheet.
- Gently add some of the spinach mixture to each phyllo cup. We used a 1/2 tbsp round measuring spoon, slightly heaped. A 2 tsp cookie scoop would work great, or you can simply use a normal spoon. Level out the mixture in each cup (the back of a spoon works great).
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and cook the bites for 10-12 minutes until the top edges of the shells are golden brown.
- They are best served warm (though still delicious if they reach room temperature).
Notes
The spinach dip mixture makes enough for 4 to 5 dozen mini bites. Sound like too much? You can easily halve the recipe, or use half of the spinach artichoke mix for bites and serve the rest as a dip with chips or crackers.
