CREAMY CHEESY SPINACH DIP



Creamy Cheesy Spinach Dip image

This recipe doesn't contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it's very cheesy and very delicious. I'm asked for the recipe every time I make it. For those who don't want a strong cheese like Cheddar, you can replace it with anything you like or even leave it out altogether. I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.

CAULIFLOWER DIP

Provided by Ingrid Beer

Categories     Appetizer

Time 1h20m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 whole heads garlic
Olive oil
6 ounces (about half of a 12 ounce bag) cauliflower florets
Salt
Black pepper
Cayenne pepper
Paprika
1/4 teaspoon granulated onion
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
12 ounces light cream cheese, softened
1 cup light sour cream
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1 1/4 cups white cheddar and gruyere cheese blend (grated/shredded), divided use
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, for a little extra for garnish
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon herbes de Provence, plus a pinch for garnish
1 tablespoon white wine (or substitute about 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice, if preferred)
1 cup tightly packed, raw baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped
Corn chips, crackers or pita chips, for dipping

Steps:

  • Begin by gathering and prepping all of your ingredients according to the ingredient list above to have ready and organized for use.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°, and line a baking sheet with foil. Also, lightly mist a small/medium-sized baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Cut the tops off of the heads of garlic, and place each of the heads onto a small square of foil. Drizzle with a touch of olive oil, wrap tightly, and place into the hot oven directly onto the wire rack.
  • Next, toss the cauliflower florets with a generous drizzle of the olive oil, a good pinch of salt, a pinch of the black pepper, a pinch of the cayenne pepper, about 1/4 teaspoon of the paprika, and the onion and garlic granules, and turn it out onto the foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Place the baking sheet into the oven next to the foil-wrapped garlic roughly 10 minutes after the garlic was put in, and roast together for 30 minutes more, until cauliflower is slightly charred and soft, and garlic is soft and aromatic.
  • Remove the cauliflower and garlic heads from the oven, and keep the oven on.
  • Unwrap the garlic heads from the foil to allow them to cool to room temp before squeezing them from their papers and smashing them into a paste with a knife or fork. Allow the cauliflower florets to cool as well, and then very finely chop them. Set both aside for a moment while you prepare the base of the dip.
  • In a large bowl, add the softened cream cheese, the sour cream, the mayo, the grated parmesan, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar/gruyere blend, the parsley, lemon zest, herbes de Provence, the white wine, another good pinch of salt (about 3/4 teaspoon), and another pinch of cayenne pepper, and fold those ingredients together until fairly smooth and well combined.
  • Next, add in the chopped baby spinach, the chopped cauliflower and the roasted garlic paste, and fold those in until well incorporated.
  • Turn the mixture out into the prepared baking dish, smooth the top out a bit, and sprinkle over the remainder of the shredded cheddar/gruyere cheese.
  • Sprinkle another little pinch of the herbes de Provence and paprika over the cheese, and bake in the oven for about 20-22 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. To finish, sprinkle with a touch of the chopped parsley, and serve hot with corn chips or choice of accompaniment.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium head cauliflower, broken into florets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 large cloves garlic

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients: Using fresh spinach, cauliflower, and cheese will result in a dip that is more flavorful and vibrant.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor. Blanch the spinach and cauliflower for just a few minutes, until they are tender but still retain their bright color.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dip. Use a sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheeses for a more complex flavor.
  • Season the dip to taste: Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as chili powder, cumin, or paprika, to taste.
  • Serve the dip warm: Cheesy spinach and cauliflower dip is best served warm, straight out of the oven. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat it before serving.
  • Garnish the dip with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the dip with fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Cheesy spinach and cauliflower dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or game days. With its creamy, cheesy texture and flavorful combination of spinach and cauliflower, this dip is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
