🧂 Ingredients

Cups
12 egg roll wrappers
Melted butter

Filling
8 oz cream cheese, softened
4 oz goat cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
12 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and very well drained
1/4 tsp lemon zest
1–2 tbsp AlcheMeats' Philosopher’s Potion
1–2 tbsp milk

Equipment Needed

Cupcake or muffin pan
Mixing bowl
Spoon or small scoop
Basting brush

🔥Directions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare the Pan

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a standard cupcake or muffin pan to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Form the Egg Roll Wrapper Cups

Cut the egg roll wrappers in half to create squares. Press one square into each greased muffin well, forming a cup. Lightly brush with melted butter. Add a second layer of egg roll wrapper to each cup and brush lightly with butter again.

Step 3: Pre-Bake the Cups

Place the pan in the oven and pre-bake for 6–8 minutes, just until the wrappers are set but not fully browned. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 4: Make the Spinach Cheese Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and goat cheese until smooth. Fold in the mozzarella, Parmesan, drained spinach, lemon zest, Philosopher’s Potion, and milk. Mix until fully combined and creamy.

Step 5: Fill the Cups

Spoon the spinach cheese filling evenly into each pre-baked wrapper cup, filling nearly to the top.

Step 6: Bake the Dip Cups

Return the pan to the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the filling is hot and the tops are lightly golden.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Remove from the oven and allow the dip cups to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan. Serve warm.

💡Pro Tips from AlcheMeats

• Drain spinach extremely well to avoid watery filling
• Use full-fat cheeses for best texture
