Awesome Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 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, until bubbly and lightly browned.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine the artichoke hearts, onion, salad dressing, mayonnaise, sour cream, Swiss cheese, mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl; mix evenly. Gently fold the spinach into the mixture; spread into the bottom of an 8x8 casserole pan. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese over the top. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake until top begins to brown, about 10 minutes more. Allow to cool 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-inch round casserole dish.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for a couple of minutes. Crank up the heat a bit and throw in the spinach. Stir the spinach around and cook for a couple of minutes until it wilts; season with salt and pepper. Transfer the spinach to a mesh strainer set over a bowl to drain. Set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet, throw in the quartered artichokes and cook over medium-high heat until the artichokes start to get a little color, about 3 minutes. Transfer the artichokes to the strainer with the spinach.
• In the same skillet or a different pot, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and whisk in the flour until it makes a paste. Cook over medium-low heat for a minute or 2, then pour in the milk. Stir and cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes; splash in more milk if needed. Add the cream cheese, pepper Jack, feta, Parmesan and cayenne and stir until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth. Chop the artichokes and spinach and add them to the sauce. Stir to combine.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Top with extra grated pepper Jack and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes. Serve with the Salted Pita Wedges.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut the pita breads into 6 wedges each. Lay the wedges on a foil-lined baking sheet and brush both sides generously with the olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with salt, then bake until they're golden brown and crisp, 15 to 18 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DAY BEFORE PREP TO ALLOW FLAVORS TO ENHANCE!
• 2. Prep shallots by peeling and chopping in food processor. Rinse and drain shrimp and artichokes and then rough cut by hand. (You want small pieces so every bite gets some.) Pull stems & Julienne cut spinach, cover and put in refrigerator.
• 3. In a medium stock pot, combine half & half and wine and bring to a SLOW boil over a medium flame stirring frequently. Just before boiling, start the next step.
• 4. In a large high side rondo or skillet sauté butter and shallots until translucent.
• 5. Add the flour to the butter/shallot mixture mixing until all the flour is absorbed by the butter and cook for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly.
• 6. Add the heated half and half mixture once boiling, all at once, to the shallot mix, stirring constantly with a wire whip making sure there is no lumps.
• 7. Continue stirring while bringing the mixture back to a slow boil and cook for three minutes stirring constantly.
• 8. Add the shrimp, artichokes, sea salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper and bring to a boil. Cook for an additional 3 minutes until shrimp are thoroughly cooked stirring constantly so the mixture doesn't scorch.
• 9. Remove from heat and transfer to either one large shallow pan (2" deep) or two smaller shallow pans and let cool to room temp stirring occasionally to release the heat.
• 10. Cover and store in refrigerator overnight.
• 11. Once cooled and before baking, fold in spinach. Top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese and a couple of dashes of paprika for color and bake at 375 degrees until bubbling and cheese has browned a little. (You may need to put under the broiler for a few seconds once mix bubbles if cheese isn't browned)
• 12. Serve with bias cut French bread that has been drizzled with olive oil & toasted in 375 degree oven. Or crackers work too in a pinch, but I prefer hot bread.
• 13. Mangia!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
• Pour mixture into a small baking dish.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until cheeses are melted.
• *If you are taking this to a party, cook the dip in the dish part of a small crockpot, then all you have to do is place the dish back into the crockpot, transport to party, then put the temperature on the lowest setting, be sure to stir every once in awhile. This will keep it warm for hours.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Squeeze all of the moisture out of the thawed spinach (I use a potato ricer- it does a great job) and set aside.
• In heavy saucepan over medium heat, saute garlic and onion in butter until soft, about 15 or 20 minutes.
• Add flour and cook for 3 minutes.
• Slowly whisk in cream and stock and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
• Once it starts boiling add lemon juice, hot sauce, salt, cayenne pepper and Romano Cheese, stirring until the cheese had melted.
• Remove from heat and add sour cream and then fold in spinach and artichoke hearts.
• Transfer to a baking dish and sprinkle cheddar on top.
• Bake until cheese has melted or if your baking dish is broiler proof broil until cheese had melted and is slightly browned on top.
