CREAMY CHEESY SPINACH DIP



Creamy Cheesy Spinach Dip image

This recipe doesn't contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it's very cheesy and very delicious. I'm asked for the recipe every time I make it. For those who don't want a strong cheese like Cheddar, you can replace it with anything you like or even leave it out altogether. I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.

SPINACH IN CREAMY FETA SAUCE



Spinach in Creamy Feta Sauce image

Greek flavor with a Southern twist. I love Southern-style creamed spinach, but I also love the combination of spinach and feta found in Greek cookery. This recipe pulls it all together. You could really dress this up by topping with buttered breadcrumbs and baking until the top is crunchy.

Categories     Spinach

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/4 cups milk, warmed (not skim)
1/4-1/2 cup feta, crumbled (1/4 cup gives a nice subtle flavor)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Have prepared spinach ready next to stove. Melt the butter in a wide saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly (don't let it brown).
  • Add warmed milk slowly, whisking at the same time. Boil until sauce thickens, then lower heat. Continue whisking and add feta, cook 2-3 minutes over low heat.
  • Stir in spinach until thoroughly coated with sauce and heated through. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a better flavor and texture than frozen spinach.
  • Wilt the spinach properly: Wilting the spinach removes excess moisture and helps to concentrate its flavor.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese: A good quality feta cheese will have a creamy texture and a tangy flavor.
  • Don't overcook the dip: Overcooking the dip will make it tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the dip warm: Creamy feta spinach dip is best served warm, so that the cheese is melted and gooey.

Conclusion:

Creamy feta spinach dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover spinach, and it is also a good source of protein and calcium. Serve it with pita chips, crackers, or vegetables for a healthy and satisfying snack or appetizer.
