Time 1h15m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, plus more for buttering the casserole dish
1/4 cup minced garlic
One 10-ounce bag fresh baby spinach
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 14-ounce cans artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained and quartered
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk, plus more if needed
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup grated pepper Jack cheese, plus more for topping
1/2 cup crumbled feta
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
Salted Pita Wedges, recipe follows, for serving
6 pita breads
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch round casserole dish.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for a couple of minutes. Crank up the heat a bit and throw in the spinach. Stir the spinach around and cook for a couple of minutes until it wilts; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the spinach to a mesh strainer set over a bowl to drain. Set aside.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet, throw in the quartered artichokes and cook over medium-high heat until the artichokes start to get a little color, about 3 minutes. Transfer the artichokes to the strainer with the spinach.
  • In the same skillet or a different pot, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and whisk in the flour until it makes a paste. Cook over medium-low heat for a minute or 2, then pour in the milk. Stir and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes; splash in more milk if needed. Add the cream cheese, pepper Jack, feta, Parmesan and cayenne and stir until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth. Chop the artichokes and spinach and add them to the sauce. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Top with extra grated pepper Jack and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes. Serve with the Salted Pita Wedges.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cut the pita breads into 6 wedges each. Lay the wedges on a foil-lined baking sheet and brush both sides generously with the olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with salt, then bake until they're golden brown and crisp, 15 to 18 minutes.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP



Absolutely Awesome Spinach Artichoke Dip image

Everyone has at least one Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe, and most everyone has their favorite. This is my take on the Pioneer Woman's version, a little different and worth the extra effort. This one is really, really good! Lighten it up by using fat free or light cream cheese, sour cream, part-skim mozzarella, and low fat milk...

Categories     Other Snacks

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 Tbsp butter, divided
4 Tbsp garlic, minced
1 bag(s) about 16 oz fresh spinach, coarsley chopped
1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper or cayenne
2 can(s) artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
3 Tbsp flour
1 1/2 c milk (more if needed)
1 pkg 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
1 pkg 8 oz tub spreadable onion & chive cream cheese
1/2 c parmigiana reggiano, freshly grated
3/4 c pepper jack cheese, grated
1/2 c sour cream
1 c mozzarella cheese
salt & white pepper or cayenne (if needed)

Steps:

  • 1. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the artichokes and cook for several minutes, until liquid is cooked off and they just start to get a little color.
  • 2. Lower heat to medium and add minced garlic; cook for a couple of minutes until fragrant but don't brown the garlic.
  • 3. Add the spinach and continue to stir for a few minutes until spinach wilts. Pour spinach mixture into a bowl and set aside.
  • 4. In the same skillet melt 3 tablespoons of butter and whisk in the flour until a paste forms. Cook over medium-low heat for a couple of minutes to cook out the flour taste, then whisk in the milk. Continue to stir until smooth and sauce begins to thicken. Add more milk if needed. You want it to be a medium thickness that coats the back of a spoon. (Think Alfredo Sauce thickness.)
  • 5. Add both cream cheeses, Parmigiana, Pepper Jack, and sour cream; stir until sauce is smooth and cheeses melted.
  • 6. Return the artichoke and spinach mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Taste and add salt, white pepper or cayenne, if needed.
  • 7. Pour into buttered baking dish. Top with Mozzarella and bake at 375 for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. If you want a golden cheesy crust bake it another 5-10 minutes.
  • 8. Serve with my Garlic Parmesan Panetini, Melba rounds or tortilla or pita chips. Enjoy!
  • 9. TIP: For an alternative appetizer stuff mushroom caps with this dip and bake for 10 minutes.

THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP



The Best Spinach Artichoke Dip image

This is our best version of the classic party dip. It's savory and creamy with a slight tang from sour cream and Parmesan -- so hard to resist. We like to use frozen whole leaf spinach and chop it ourselves for more control over the finished texture of the dish.

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, grated
One 10-ounce box frozen leaf spinach, thawed, drained, squeezed dry and coarsely chopped (see Cook's Note)
One 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained well and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup shredded whole-milk mozzarella
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crackers, chips or toasted bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
  • Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.

Expert Tips for Making Spinach Artichoke Dip

1. Use Fresh Ingredients
To make a truly great spinach artichoke dip, it's important to use fresh ingredients. Fresh spinach, artichoke hearts, and garlic will make a huge difference in the final taste of your dip. Avoid using canned or frozen spinach, as they can have a bitter flavor.
2. Season to Taste
One of the keys to making an incredible spinach artichoke dip is to season it well. Adding salt and pepper is a good start, but you can also experiment with other spices and herbs. Some popular options include cumin, chili powder, oregano, and thyme. Remember to taste as you go, and adjust the seasoning according to your preferences.
3. Add Cream Cheese for Creaminess
A good spinach artichoke dip should be creamy and indulgent. One of the easiest ways to achieve this is by adding cream cheese to your recipe. Cream cheese will give your dip a smooth and velvety texture, and it will also help bind the ingredients together.
4. Use the Right Cheese
The type of cheese you use in your spinach artichoke dip can make a big difference in the flavor. While most recipes call for shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese, you can also experiment with other varieties. Some options include goat cheese, Gruyere, or even blue cheese. Just be sure not to go overboard with the cheese, as it can overpower the other flavors.
5. Add a Crunchy Topping
A crunchy topping can add texture and flavor to your spinach artichoke dip. Consider topping your dip with breadcrumbs, crushed crackers, or even bacon bits. You can also sprinkle some additional cheese on top for an extra layer of gooey goodness.
6. Cook it Just Right
Cooking your spinach artichoke dip to the right consistency is crucial. Overcooking can cause the cheese to separate, while undercooking can leave your dip soupy and runny. Follow the recipe instructions carefully, and keep a close eye on your dip as it cooks. You want it to be heated through and bubbly, but not scorched or burned.
7. Serve it Hot
Spinach artichoke dip is best served hot and fresh out of the oven. If you're making it in advance, you can reheat it in the oven or the microwave just before serving. Be sure to keep an eye on it while reheating, as it can burn quickly.

Conclusion

By following these valuable tips, you can create an absolutely awesome spinach artichoke dip recipe that will impress your guests. Experiment with the ingredients and be creative with the toppings, and you're sure to come up with a winning recipe that everyone will love.
