THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP



The Best Spinach Artichoke Dip image

This is our best version of the classic party dip. It's savory and creamy with a slight tang from sour cream and Parmesan -- so hard to resist. We like to use frozen whole leaf spinach and chop it ourselves for more control over the finished texture of the dish.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, grated
One 10-ounce box frozen leaf spinach, thawed, drained, squeezed dry and coarsely chopped (see Cook's Note)
One 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained well and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup shredded whole-milk mozzarella
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crackers, chips or toasted bread, for serving

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.

CHEF JOHN'S HOT SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP



Chef John's Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip image

I've always enjoyed hot spinach artichoke dip, but it always struck me as a little oily. I decided to try a mayo-less version, and then raised the stakes even higher by excluding the sour cream as well. To counter this, a bit more cheese was added, and the results were amazing. A rich, creamy, cheesy, not greasy dip.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Dips and Spreads Recipes     Spinach Dip Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons butter
½ cup green onions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach , thawed, drained and squeezed dry
8 ounces cream cheese
½ cup shredded Gruyere cheese
½ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
¼ teaspoon hot sauce
1 pinch ground nutmeg
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; stir in onions and pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir garlic into onions and remove from heat.
  • Mix green onion mixture, spinach, artichoke hearts, cream cheese, Gruyere, Parmigiano-Reggiano, hot sauce, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until combined.
  • Spoon artichoke mixture into two ramekins. Top each with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown and bubbling, about 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh ingredients: Using fresh artichokes and spinach will give your spread the best flavor. If you can't find fresh artichokes, you can use frozen or canned artichokes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Don't overcook the artichokes: Artichokes should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make the spread: This will help you to get a smooth and creamy consistency. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the artichokes and spinach by hand with a fork.
  • Season the spread to taste: Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as basil, oregano, or thyme.
  • Serve the spread immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later: The spread can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Hot artichoke spinach spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Serve it with crackers, bread, or vegetables, or use it as a dip for chips or pretzels. Enjoy!
