Spinach Artichoke Dip With Smoked Mozzarella 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:

• Squeeze as much liquid out of the spinach as possible with a a clean dishtowel or paper towels. Melt butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Sauté shallot until soft, 3-5 minutes. Stir in paprika and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, cream, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, until warmed through and slightly reduced, 8-10 minutes. Fold in mozzarella and Parmesan and cook until melted; add more cream if needed to reach desired consistency. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice.
• Do Ahead
• Dip can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container and chill. Warm before serving.

Steps:

• Combine all in saucepan and cook over low-medium heat until warm and bubbly, its that easy!
• Serve with crusty bread or nacho chips.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the spinach in a strainer and squeeze out as much liquid as possible; set aside.
• Chop the artichokes into bite-size chunks.
• In a large bowl, add the spinach, artichokes, 1/2 cup Parmesan, gouda, mozzarella, garlic, red pepper flakes, coriander seeds, mayonnaise, sour cream and cream cheese and mix until combined. Pour into a baking dish, top with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan and bake until the edges are bubbly and light golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• Allow the dip to cool slightly before serving with tortilla chips.
• *Cook's Note: A quick way to thaw out spinach: microwave for 3 minutes, covered.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring until it's softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add spinach to pot one handful at a time, letting each handful completely wilt before adding the next. Add crushed red pepper, if using, and season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until most of the liquid from the spinach has evaporated (no need to drain), about 3 minutes. Add artichokes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for a few minutes, just to take the raw edge off the artichokes.
• Reduce heat to low and add cream cheese and mozzarella. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until all the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and pecorino, and season with more salt and pepper. You can certainly eat this dip straight from the pot (or transferred to a serving bowl), but running it under the broiler for a crispy top is also an excellent option. To do so, transfer dip to a small ovenproof skillet (6 to 8 inches). Place in oven and broil until the top is golden and the dip is bubbling, 5 to 8 minutes. Let sit a minute or two before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain and crumble into a medium bowl.
• Mix spinach, artichoke hearts, garlic-herb flavored cheese spread, Parmesan cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise into the bowl with bacon.
• Scoop mixture into a 7x11 inch baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven 20 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned.
