Spinach Bleu Cheese Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
• Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until lightly browned, 4 to 7 minutes. Add spinach and simmer until spinach is hot, about 5 minutes. Drain any liquid from the mixture and transfer to a bowl.
• Pour milk into pot and return pot to medium heat. Melt cream cheese into the milk; cook and stir together about 3 minutes. Return spinach mixture to pot with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese; stir to combine. Season the mixture with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until bubbly and golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat; add onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes or until onions are tender.
• Cover; reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Increase heat to medium. Add spinach and stir for 2-3 minutes or until wilted; remove from heat.
• In a medium bowl, combine cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise; mash with back of a wooden spoon until cheese pieces are of desired consistency.
• Stir in onion mixture, salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate to allow flavors to blend for 1 hour or up to 1 day.
• VARIATON: Stir in 1/4 cup crumbled bacon just before serving.

Steps:

• Combine cottage cheese, yogurt and skim milk in a blender or food processor.
• Process until smooth.
• Add the remaining ingredients (except bread) and process until thoroughly combined.
• Taste, and adjust amount of bleu cheese and worcestershire sauce to your preference.
• Pour into a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight to allow dip to thicken and flavors to mellow.
• Hollow out a round loaf of pumpernickel bread (making a"bowl"), leaving at least 1/2 inch thick on bottom and sides of loaf.
• Cut up the bread"insides" that you removed from the loaf into cubes/chunks for dipping.
• Fill the bread"bowl" with the chilled dip to serve.
• *You can add more bleu cheese and/or worcestershire sauce to your taste.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Lightly oil a small baking dish. Tip the defrosted spinach into a sieve set over the sink and press down with the back of a large spoon to remove as much liquid as possible. Set aside.
• Whisk the soft cheese, soured cream and mayonnaise together in a medium bowl until well-combined. Add the garlic, most of the cheeses, all the spinach and the artichokes. Season with black pepper and fold everything together to combine.
• Spoon the mixture into the baking dish and sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Will keep, covered in the fridge, for up to a day. Bake for 25-30 mins until bubbling and golden. If you like an extra-crisp top, flash under a hot grill for the final few minutes of cooking time. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then serve with tortilla chips and crudités.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a kettle or saucepan and add the onions. Cook, stirring, about three minutes.
• Sprinkle the mixture with the flour and stir. Add the chicken broth and bring to the boil. Add the milk and cook about five minutes.
• Add the cheese and cook, stirring, until melted.
• Meanwhile, pick over the spinach and remove and discard any tough stems and blemished leaves. Rinse and drain the spinach well. Coarsely chop the spinach and add it to the soup. Cook, stirring, about five minutes. Add the cream, salt and pepper and bring to the boil.
• Meanwhile, cut the shrimp into small pieces. There should be about one cup. Add the shrimp to the soup and bring to the boil again. Serve.
