Usually, I give a long talk on artichokes or spinach first, but today is different. No talk, just a recipe and a sales pitch. As usual, you can this book for sale on my Amazon storefront. www.amazon.com/shops/oneofakindcookbooks/ . I have tried this recipe twice, a success at each party!
Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip
Book Title: Allrecipes.com easy everyday favorites 5-Star Recipes
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup grated Romano cheese (very expensive, I used the jar stuff-finely grated)
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/4 tsp. garlic salt
salt and pepper to taste
1 (14oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a small baking dish.
In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, garlic, basil, garlic salt, salt and pepper. Gently stir in artichoke hearts and spinach.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven 25 minutes or until bubbly and lightly browned.
Mine took about 35 minutes to get lightly browned. The second time I made this, I pre-prepared the dish 2 days before it was to be baked and it was still some kind of wonderful. Low calorie? Probably not. I actually prefer fresh cut-up French bread to tortilla chips with this. You try and let me know.
Happy Cooking!
