Ingredients
- ¾ cup Greek yogurt full-fat, plain
- ¾ cup cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise made with avocado oil
- 1 oz can artichoke hearts drained WELL, squeezed and patted dry, packed in water
- 6 ounces spinach squeezed WELL to release liquid, thawed, frozen
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese high quality, grated or shredded
- ½ teaspoon onion powder

- 1 cup mozzarella cheese divided, shredded

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and spray a small baking dish with cooking spray. I used an 8x8 glass baking dish.
- Blend yogurt and cottage cheese together in a blender or food processor until creamy. Add mayo, artichoke, spinach and minced garlic and pulse until combined.
- Place mixture in a bowl and stir in parmesan cheese, ¾ cup mozzarella, onion powder, pepper and salt.
- Place mixture into prepared baking dish and top with remaining ¼ cup mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly and browning a bit, about 20-25 minutes. Broil for an additional 1-2 minutes if you want to brown your cheese even more.
- Remove from oven and serve warm with crusty bread, crackers, chips or veggies.

Notes
- If using fresh spinach, cook and wilt it first, then squeeze out excess liquid and roughly chop before adding.
- To thaw frozen spinach quickly, run warm water over it in a strainer and squeeze out moisture thoroughly.
- If a food processor is unavailable, a hand mixer can blend the mixture smoothly.
