Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
3
Gently fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and the chopped artichoke hearts; set the mixture aside.
4
Spray a miniature muffin tin generously with non-stick cooking spray. Take each wonton wrapper and coat one side with cooking spray, pressing the greased side down into the muffin cups to form little cups.
5
Bake the wonton cups in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn lightly golden brown—keep a close eye on them to avoid over-browning.

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and fill each wonton cup with approximately 1 tablespoon of the artichoke mixture, pressing down lightly to pack it in.
