Categories     Spinach

Time 25m

Yield 3 cups dip, 8 serving(s)

1 cup pre-shredded mozzarella cheese
2 -3 tablespoons milk, if needed to help blend
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

olive oil, preferably in a spray bottle
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat in microwave until bubbly. It's best to serve a bit at a time unless you have a huge crowd since it cools quickly and isn't as good that way.
  • To make pita chips: spray or lightly brush pita pockets with olive oil or butter and dust with salt and pepper. Cut each into 4 triangles and arrange on a baking sheet. put under broiler, oil side up, for 2 min or until crispy and golden-WATCH CAREFULLY! They burn very quickly.

WARM SPINACH DIP IN A BREAD BOWL



Warm Spinach Dip in a Bread Bowl image

This recipe is Yum-Yum! I don't like spinach, but love this recipe. I found it in our local paper. I made it for New Year's Eve and it was ate before anything else! I used Green Giant creamed spinach, as I couldn't find the Stouffer's and I left out the green onions just as a personal preference. You can use any type of round bread. I used Hawaiian bread, again just a personal selection. You can use round rye or sourdough, etc. Try it and you will see just how delicious this is! (Recipe by Nestle USA.)

Tips:

  • Choose fresh spinach. Fresh spinach leaves are essential for a vibrant and flavorful dip. Look for leaves that are deep green and crisp.
  • Use a food processor to chop the spinach. This will ensure that the spinach is finely chopped and evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  • Don't overcook the spinach. Overcooked spinach will become mushy and lose its flavor. Cook the spinach just until it is wilted.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses will give the dip a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Add some spices and herbs. Spices and herbs will add flavor and depth to the dip. Try adding garlic, onion, paprika, and thyme.
  • Serve the dip warm. Warm spinach dip is the best way to enjoy it. Serve it with tortilla chips, pita bread, or crackers.
