Mushroom Spinach Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Put the spinach in a large microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap and pierce a few times to vent. Microwave until it starts wilting, about 4 minutes. Uncover and stir, then microwave until completely wilted, about 2 more minutes. Transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water; squeeze dry and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, poblanos and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium; add the garlic and flour and stir until incorporated, about 2 minutes.
• Gradually stir in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the sour cream and cook, stirring, until the liquid thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in all but a few tablespoons of the gruyere, then stir in the muenster and cilantro. Transfer to a food processor and add the spinach; pulse until finely chopped.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spread the dip in a 1-quart baking dish and sprinkle with the reserved gruyere. Transfer to the oven and bake until the cheese melts, about 6 minutes. Serve with bread.

Steps:

• In a large skillet or heavy bottomed pan saute the onions and butter on high heat for 2 minutes.
• Add the garlic powder and mushrooms and cook for five minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the spinach, and continue cooking for about 10 minutes. Stir frequently. The mixture won't get 'dry', but you don't want it to be really wet.
• Add the cream cheese. Mix well until it all dissolves.
• Taste the mixture and add salt and pepper, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Remove stems from mushrooms and set caps aside; discard stems or save for another use. In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add spinach; saute until wilted. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer., Combine spinach mixture with remaining ingredients. Stuff into mushroom caps. Place in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, until mushrooms are tender, 12-15 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, basil, garlic salt and pepper; mix well. Stir in the artichokes and spinach. Transfer to a greased 9-in. pie plate. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly and edges are lightly browned. Serve with crackers.
