The Very Best Spinach Artichoke Dip Ever Recipes

THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP EVER

Steps:

• 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 around and cook for a couple of minutes until the spinach wilts. Remove the spinach from the skillet and put it in a small strainer. Squeeze the excess juice back into the skillet. Set the spinach aside.

• In the same skillet or a different pot, melt 3 additional tablespoons of butter and whisk in 3 tablespoons of flour until it makes a paste. Cook over medium-low heat for a minute or two, then pour in milk. Stir and cook until slightly thickened; splash in more milk if needed.
• Add cream cheese, feta, Parmesan, pepper jack, and cayenne and stir until cheese are melted and sauce is smooth. Chop artichokes and spinach and add to the sauce. Stir to combine.

THE BEST SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚ F. Lightly coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray (I usually use an 8-inch pan). Set aside. Cook spinach according to package directions and drain well in a fine-mesh sieve, or by squeezing in a kitchen towel. Set aside. In a large bowl with a hand mixer, or using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmigiano Reggiano, Italian 4-Cheese Shred, garlic, and garlic salt until well combined. Add artichoke hearts, spinach, and basil to the cream cheese mixture. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread dip into prepared baking pan and top with mozzarella. Bake for 25 minutes, or until center is hot and cheese is bubbly. If desired, place the baked dip under the broiler to further brown and crisp the cheese, being sure to watch closely (it goes fast!). Serve hot with bread cubes, lightly-salted (or unsalted) tortilla chips, crackers, crostini, or crudités. Notes *I use 2 (14-ounce) cans of artichoke hearts (not marinated; rinsed and drained) OR enough frozen artichoke hearts, cooked according to package directions, to equal roughly 2 cups chopped (I use one, 12 ounce bag). Whether using canned or frozen, remove and discard any tough outer leaves before chopping. **The 4-Cheese Shred I use from the gourmet cheese case at my grocery store contains Fontina, Provolone, Parmesan, and Asiago.
