Best Crispy Deep Fried Spinach Artichoke Dip Balls Recipes

THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

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.

CRISPY DEEP FRIED SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP BALLS

Steps:

• If you've made Spinach & Artichoke Dip before, you will notice that this recipe is much thicker. If the finished product isn't thick enough to roll into balls, add alittle more Parm Cheese, or refrigerate to tighten/thicken the mix.
• Preheat your Fry Daddy! Roll the balls into the size you would like, and place on a sheet, and place in the freezer for 20 - 30 mins (this will tighten/solidify the balls into something that can be more successfully breaded.
• One at a time, cover each ball with flour (bowl #1), then into the egg until its totally covered (bowl #2), and finally into the breadcrumbs until covered (bowl #3). Drop into the hot oil and fry for 5 - 6 minutes. Enjoy!

SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring until it's softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add spinach to pot one handful at a time, letting each handful completely wilt before adding the next. Add crushed red pepper, if using, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid from the spinach has evaporated (no need to drain), about 3 minutes. Add artichokes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, just to take the raw edge off the artichokes.
• Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese and mozzarella. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until all the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and pecorino, and season with more salt and pepper. You can certainly eat this dip straight from the pot (or transferred to a serving bowl), but running it under the broiler for a crispy top is also an excellent option. To do so, transfer dip to a small ovenproof skillet (6 to 8 inches). Place in oven and broil until the top is golden and the dip is bubbling, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sit a minute or two before serving.
