Equipment
- Small Baking Dish
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen spinach (or 2 cups fresh)
- ½ cup artichoke hearts chopped (approximately 6 heart quarters)
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup sour cream or Plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese fresh is best
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- homemade pita chips or other dunkers of choice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl.
- Spread the dip into your baking dish.
- Bake until the dip is warmed through and bubbling on the edges, approximately 15 minutes.
- If you want some browning on top, once cooked, change the oven to Broil and let it brown slightly.
- Serve warm with homemade pita chips, crackers, tortilla chips, and/or vegetables.
Slow Cooker
- To make in a slow cooker, simply add all ingredients into a smaller slow cooker and heat over low until everything is warm and incorporated. Then switch the heat to warm for serving.
Microwave
- Quickly make the dip by microwaving all ingredients in a medium bowl for 1 minute. Stir and reheat additional 30 seconds and repeat until warm and ready to serve.
Notes
Spinach - I love using frozen spinach for how easy it is. You can also use fresh, just double up the amount that is listed since it takes up more space when measuring. Either chopped or whole/cut leaf spinach is just fine to use.
Artichoke Hearts - I love to use the jarred artichoke hearts. You can also use frozen, just let them thaw and drain off excess moisture first.
Quickly soften cream cheese by microwaving it in a glass bowl for 1 minute.
