Spinach Artichoke Dip Sliders
Description
This recipe combines artichoke hearts and thawed chopped spinach in a creamy base of cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream to create a savory dip that forms the filling of slider sandwiches. Garlic powder adds gentle flavor, while cheddar and Parmesan cheeses contribute sharpness and richness. The dip has a smooth but slightly chunky texture from the vegetables. The mixture is spread onto halved soft bread rolls, topped with sliced cheese, and then baked until the cheese melts and the tops turn golden.
Baking with foil initially retains moisture, preventing the sliders from drying out, and then finishing uncovered ensures a browned top. The result is a warm, cheesy, and flavorful slider with a tender bread base and a rich, creamy filling.
These sliders are practical for parties or snacks where handheld servings combine a classic spinach artichoke dip with bread and melted cheese in one bite.
Ingredients
Spinach Artichoke Dip
- 14 oz artichoke hearts drained (or frozen, thawed, in brine
- 8 oz spinach thawed, frozen, chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese Philadelphia brand
- 1 tsp garlic powder or 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream full fat recommended, or yogurt
- 1 cup cheddar cheese or other cheese of choice, shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Sliders
- 12 bread rolls
- 6 lices cheese
- 2 tbsp butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Roughly chop the artichokes.
- Squeeze excess liquid out of spinach. Either use paper towels or a clean dishtowel, or my method is to use a colander and press liquid out using a wooden spoon.
- Place cream cheese in a large heatproof bowl. Microwave in 2 x 30 second bursts or until softened. Mix until smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients. Mix until just combined (don’t overmix vigorously, otherwise you’ll smush the artichokes and spinach).
- Cut rolls in half. Place on a baking tray. Spread with dip - you may not use all of it, I use most. Top with cheese then place top of rolls back on.
- Brush with butter, cover with foil, bake 20 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted.
- Serve warm!
