Crowd-Pleasing Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip - Quick & Delicious Holiday Recipe

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Start by sautéing green onions in plenty of melted butter until fragrant.

Turn off the heat; the heat from the skillet will melt together the cream cheese and sour cream without needing them at room temperature.

Once combined and creamy, add canned and chopped artichoke hearts, ensuring they are quartered and in water, not marinated.

Drain the thawed spinach very well, squeezing it in fistfuls to remove excess water before adding it to the mixture.

Add Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese, saving some mozzarella for the topping.

Incorporate fresh minced garlic into the mixture for added flavor.

Season the mixture to taste with salt, black pepper, and hot sauce if desired.

Stir everything together until well combined and smooth out the top.

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is melted.

Broil for an additional 2 minutes to get the cheese golden and beautiful.

Serve hot with pita chips, crackers, toasted breads, or veggies.
