Recipe video above. This dip is a hit with everyone! Particularly terrific served warm, but also fantastic at room temperature, this dip is soft so crackers won't break when you scoop up dip! Quick to make using a microwave, though you can bake if you prefer (it doesn't add anything to flavour, but some like to brown the top, I don't).

Number Of Ingredients 9

400 g / 14 oz artichoke hearts in brine (, drained (Note 1))
250 g / 8 oz frozen chopped spinach (, thawed (Note 2))
250 g / 8 oz Philadelphia cream cheese ((Note 3))
1 tsp garlic powder ((or 2 garlic cloves, minced))

½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Roughly chop the artichokes.
  • Squeeze excess liquid out of spinach. Either use paper towels or a clean dishtowel, or my method is to use a colander and press liquid out using a wooden spoon.
  • Place cream cheese in a large heatproof bowl. Microwave in 2 x 30 second bursts or until softened. Mix until smooth.
  • Add remaining ingredients. Mix until just combined (don't overmix vigorously, otherwise you'll smush the artichokes and spinach).
  • Warm in microwave to your taste. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  • Best served warm but terrific served at room temperature too! Serve with your favourite crackers, vegetable sticks and chips.

INCREDIBLE SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP



INCREDIBLE SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP image

Categories     Vegetable     Appetizer     Bake

Yield 1 dish

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 small onion, minced
1/4 c butter
1/4 c flour
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1/4+ chicken broth
1c +1/4c grated pecorino-romano cheese + parmesan (I usually use both, though more parmesan than romano, and be generous with the cheese!)
2 tsp lemon juice
1Tbsp (or more!) Siracha hot sauce
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2tsp salt
1/4c regular sour cream
1 8oz package soft cream cheese (like neufchatel)
2 10oz boxes frozen spinach, thawed, drained, coarsely chopped
12-16oz jar artichoke hearts, drained, coarsely chopped (you can use more if you like)
1/4c grated white chedder (swiss or mozzarella work too)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 13 x 9 glass baking dish. In a saucepan, melt butter, add onion and garlic and sautee 5 min. Stir in flour and cook about 1 min (the flour/onion/garlic turns into a dough-like mass). Whisk/stir in cream and broth until boiling (you may need to add a little more broth if it's too thick, I go for the consistency of pudding). Stir in 1c cheese (be generous!), lemon juice, siracha hot sauce, basil and salt. Stir until all the cheese has melted and remove from heat. Let cool ~5min, then fold in the sour cream and cream cheese. It takes a bit of work to get the cream cheese incorporated. Next add the artichokes and spinach. Pour/spread into the 13 x 9 glass baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining parmesan/romano and other cheese over the top CAN BE MADE IN ADVANCE. Bake for 25-30min until bubbly and browned on top. I often put the broiler on for the last couple of minutes to get a nice brown top.

DUMP SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP FROM FROZEN



Dump Spinach and Artichoke Dip from Frozen image

This is the easiest spinach artichoke dip you'll ever make! Everything goes into a baking dish and straight into the oven all at once-even the frozen spinach and artichokes. We like to finish the dish with a sprinkle of panko and a quick run under the broiler for a crispy top. But you can skip it if you're short on time. Serve this with sturdy chips or baguette slices for dipping.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 heaping cups frozen artichoke quarters

1 cup grated Havarti cheese
1 cup grated low-moisture mozzarella

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Drizzle the olive oil on the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish. Scatter the artichokes over the oil, set the cream cheese in the center and top with the spinach. Sprinkle with the Havarti and mozzarella and top with the heavy cream, mayonnaise and garlic. Sprinkle with the Parmesan. Bake until browned and bubbling, 33 to 36 minutes.
  • Preheat the broiler. Use a pair of kitchen scissors to cut the artichokes and spinach into small pieces. Stir the dip with the scissors until creamy and smooth. Sprinkle with the panko and broil until crispy, about 1 minute. Serve hot.

THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

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.

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature

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

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.

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.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP



Spinach Artichoke Dip image

Spinach artichoke dip has a way of inciting controversy. Should it be served cold or hot? Is it lowbrow or classic? Should it be served in a bread bowl or with tortilla chips? Well, the good news is that there are no wrong answers here, only delicious, creamy dip. This particular one is best served hot (or at least room temperature), but it is also acceptable to spread it on crackers after being chilled. And with the inclusion of fresh spinach, it could almost be described as classy. Use canned artichoke hearts; they've got a tangier flavor and better texture than the frozen ones. If you want to go a step further, transfer it to a skillet and run it under the broiler after cooking, which gives you bubbling dip with a golden top.

Categories     easy, quick, dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 2 to 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped
1 12-ounce bunch fresh spinach, finely chopped (or 1 10-ounce package frozen spinach, defrosted, drained and finely chopped)
Pinch of red-pepper flakes (optional)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (14-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and coarsely chopped
8 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn or shredded
4 ounces sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup Pecorino Romano or Parmesan, finely grated

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dip.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. It should still be slightly wilted, but not mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese will give your dip a lot of flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add other vegetables, such as broccoli or cauliflower, or even some cooked chicken or shrimp.
  • Serve your dip with a variety of dippers. Tortilla chips, crackers, and bread are all good options.

Conclusion:

Spinach artichoke dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
