Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F and position the oven rack in the upper third.
2
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the finely chopped onion and minced shallot, sautéing for about 4 minutes until softened.
3
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds. Remove the mixture from heat and transfer it to a bowl to cool slightly.
4
In a food processor, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, quartered artichokes, and ground cayenne pepper. Process until smooth.
5
Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a medium bowl. Add the sautéed onion mixture, thawed and squeezed dry spinach, and grated asiago cheese. Mix well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
6
Taste the mixture and season with salt if needed, keeping in mind that the brined artichokes and cheese may already add enough flavor.
7
On a clean, flat surface, lay out the 24 wonton wrappers. Place about 1 heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper.
8
Dampen the edges of the wonton wrappers with water. Fold each wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
9
Arrange the sealed wontons on a baking sheet coated lightly with cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges are beginning to turn golden brown.
10
Carefully flip each wonton and continue baking for an additional 4 minutes, or until both sides are crisp and slightly browned.
11
Remove from the oven and serve immediately, allowing guests to savor the warm, cheesy goodness.
