MINI GRILLED ARTICHOKE HEARTS WITH LOW FAT SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F.
• Halve all but 2 of the artichoke hearts and grill the rest over medium-high heat on an oiled grill (a grill pan may be substituted) until lightly charred and warmed through. Keep warm in the oven while preparing the spinach and artichoke dip.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute the onions until tender and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted and all the moisture in the pan has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Chop the reserved whole artichoke hearts and add, along with the Greek yogurt, mozzarella and Parmesan. Cook until cheese has melted. Add the basil and nutmeg, season with salt and pepper, and serve on top of grilled artichoke hearts.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE BABKA

Steps:

• For the dough: Sprinkle the yeast over the milk in a liquid measuring cup and set aside until bubbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl and whisk together. Add the eggs, vanilla, yeast mixture, lemon zest and nutmeg; stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead until soft and smooth, about 5 minutes. Knead in the butter in three additions, dusting the dough with flour if it is too sticky. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• For the filling: Combine the artichoke hearts, spinach, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, a pinch of salt and some pepper in a food processor and process until smooth.
• For the topping: Whisk the flour, panko, a pinch salt and some pepper in a medium bowl, then work in the butter with your fingers until the mixture is sandy and chunky. Stir in the Parmesan and parsley and set aside.
• For the assembly: Cut the dough in half with a bench scraper or chef's knife. Using a rolling pin, roll each half into a 12-by-16-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Using an offset spatula, spread the filling on both dough rectangles, all the way to the edges. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the Parmesan and 1/4 cup of the mozzarella all over the filling on each dough rectangle. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Starting from the long side, tightly roll each rectangle into a log. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Unwrap the logs and cut each in half lengthwise with a bench scraper or chef's knife. For each babka, twist the 2 halves together a few times, starting from the middle. Coat two 9-by-5-inch loaf pans with cooking spray and line each with parchment, leaving an overhang on the 2 longer sides so you can pull the babka out of the pan after baking. Place a babka snuggly in each pan and sprinkle with the topping. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Drizzle the melted butter all over the babkas. Bake until browned, about 45 minutes.
• Let sit 10 minutes, then remove the babkas from the pans and remove the parchment. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

LOW-CARB BUNS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Sift the almond flour, baking powder, paprika, onion powder and salt into a large microwave-safe bowl. Add the mozzarella and cream cheese and use your fingers to evenly distribute the cheeses. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Knead the mixture with your hands or stir with a rubber spatula briefly. Microwave again until the cheeses are melted and the dough looks smooth, 15 to 30 seconds more. Let stand until cool enough to handle, just a few minutes.
• Add all but 1 teaspoon of the egg to the dough and knead with your hands to incorporate. Sprinkle the dough with extra almond flour if it looks too sticky.
• Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Moisten your hands and form each piece into a slightly domed patty about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet, brush the tops lightly with the remaining egg and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
• Bake until light golden brown all over, 12 to 16 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then carefully slice through the middles with a serrated knife.
