Spinach & Artichoke Dip My Favorite Dip! | Chef Jean-Pierre

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

sour cream

🥗Healthier: plain yogurt

💰Cheaper: creme fraiche

Plain yogurt offers a tangy flavor with fewer calories.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

pita bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain pita

💰Cheaper: tortilla chips

Whole grain pita adds fiber while tortilla chips provide a crunchy alternative.

Thaw and squeeze excess moisture from spinach using a clean kitchen towel.

In a sauce pan large enough to host ALL the ingredients, heat the butter, add the onion and cook until translucent.

Add the flour and blend well and incorporate the milk and cream mixture.

Add the chicken stock, lemon juice and mix well and add the cheeses and hot sauce.

Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

Add spinach, artichoke heart, blend until cheeses are melted.

Add the sour cream at the end and serve.

Adjust seasoning with salt & pepper if necessary.

If the consistency is too thick, you may thin it down with more stock or sour cream.

Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
