Holiday Artichoke Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
• Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray an 8-by-8-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the poblano rajas (strips) and saute for about 2 minutes. Let cool.
• Put the artichoke hearts, cream cheese, mozzarella, sour cream and mayonnaise in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the onion-poblano mixture and pulse a couple times until combined, making sure to leave the mixture a little chunky. Season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and bake until golden brown and melted, about 15 minutes.
• Serve with chicharrones or pita chips.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix together spinach, bell pepper, garlic, artichokes, sour cream, and parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Mixture will be thick; add cream to thin to dip consistency. Spoon into a 1-quart baking dish.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until bubbly. Serve with crackers.
