CREAMY CHEESY SPINACH DIP
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.

HOT ARTICHOKE AND SPINACH DIP II
This dip is amazing -- so cheesy and fragrant. If you don't like artichokes, don't worry -- you'll never know they're in there! My only question is: Is it okay to just eat it with a spoon right out of the dish?

SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
Spinach artichoke dip has a way of inciting controversy. Should it be served cold or hot? Is it lowbrow or classic? Should it be served in a bread bowl or with tortilla chips? Well, the good news is that there are no wrong answers here, only delicious, creamy dip. This particular one is best served hot (or at least room temperature), but it is also acceptable to spread it on crackers after being chilled. And with the inclusion of fresh spinach, it could almost be described as classy. Use canned artichoke hearts; they've got a tangier flavor and better texture than the frozen ones. If you want to go a step further, transfer it to a skillet and run it under the broiler after cooking, which gives you bubbling dip with a golden top.

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.

CHEF JOHN'S HOT SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
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.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Spinach: Use fresh, tender spinach leaves for the best flavor and texture. Avoid wilted or yellowing leaves.
- Chop the Spinach Finely: Finely chop the spinach to ensure it blends well with other ingredients. This will also help prevent the dip from becoming too watery.
- Use a Food Processor: A food processor is a convenient tool for making spinach dip. It quickly and easily chops the spinach and combines it with other ingredients.
- Don't Overcook the Spinach: If you're cooking the spinach, be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked spinach will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Chill the Dip Before Serving: Chilling the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld and develop. This will also make the dip thicker and easier to spread.
- Serve with Crackers, Veggies, or Chips: Serve the spinach dip with a variety of dippers, such as crackers, vegetable crudités, or pita chips.
Conclusion:
Spinach dip is a versatile and delicious appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
