Spinach Artichoke Dip



Spinach, check! Artichoke, check! Cream cheese, check check!!

Well, I'm a sucker for hot spinach and artichoke dip! A warm, creamy dip, loaded with spinach, artichoke and cream cheese. And now I can say, it's one of my all-time favorite appetizers. Served with slices of bread, chips, crackers or even veggies, baby carrots and cucumber slices. Versatile, simple and delicious.



This weekend, we had our friends over. I wanted to serve different appetizers so we can eat them with wine and enjoy the evening. Sometimes you don't want to be fussing in the kitchen missing out the juicy gossips! 

Let me tell you something, this dip was a hit! It bakes briefly while you're enjoying the company of your guests and it’s the type of dish you throw out on a table, and it’s gobbled up in a matter of minutes.  

Ingredients:
8 oz. (225 g) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
7 oz. (150 g) baby spinach leaves, chopped
1 cup coarsely chopped canned artichoke hearts
1 garlic clove, smashed
¼ tsp. salt
½ tsp. roasted red pepper flakes

Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC). In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan, sour cream, mayonnaise, spinach, artichokes, garlic, salt and red pepper flakes. Mix well with a rubber spatula until all ingredients are evenly blended. Spread into a small baking dish. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is slightly browned. Serve warm with baguette slices, crackers or chips.

1 boîte de cœurs d'artichauts, coupés
1 gousse d'ail, écrasée

Préchauffez le four à 200ºC. Dans un saladier, mélangez le saint moret, le parmesan, la crème épaisse, la mayonnaise, les épinards, l'ail, le sel et le paprila. Mélangez avec une spatule.
Déposez la préparation dans un petit plat à gratin. Enfournez 35 à 40 mn jusqu'à ce que la surface soit légèrement dorée. Servez avec des tranches de pain, des crackers ou des chips.
