Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe
Description
The dip begins by melting cream cheese, sour cream, butter, and Parmesan together in a pot until smooth and bubbling. This creates a rich, creamy foundation. Adding coarsely chopped artichoke hearts, diced jalapenos, thawed and drained spinach, and pressed garlic integrates layers of flavor and texture.
The jalapenos offer a gentle heat, balanced by the mild tang of artichokes and the earthiness of spinach. Serving the dip hot helps meld the ingredients and makes it easy to scoop with chips, crackers, or toasted baguettes, enhancing its creamy texture.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese reduced fat is ok
- 16 oz sour cream light
- 1 stick 8 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 14 oz artichoke hearts drained and coarsely chopped, quartered
- 4 oz jalapeno pepper drained, diced, canned
- 10 oz spinach thawed and drained, frozen
- 2-3 garlic pressed, cloves
Instructions
- In a medium pot over medium heat, melt together 8oz cream cheese, 16 oz sour cream, 1 stick butter and 1.5-2 cups parmesan cheese, stirring frequently until melted and an even consistency. It should start to bubble.
- Stir in coarsely chopped artichoke hearts, your drained jalapenos and drained spinach (I used my hands to squeeze spinach over the sink to remove excess water). Finally, stir in 2-3 pressed garlic cloves. Serve hot with chips or crackers or toasted baguettes.
