Hi everyone! This is my first post and I am very excited about sharing my recipes with y'all! It's almost summer and if your family is anything like mine, it means you'll be entertaining a whole lot more. In the past month, we've had 2 celebrations in our family- my sister graduated with her MBA and got engaged!!! =) Even though it's always fun to have friends and family over, entertaining can be a drab when it comes to selecting the menu. But it doesn't have to be. With my Spinach & Artichoke Dip, your guests will keep coming back for more. Now I know there are a lot of recipes out there but here is one that I've tweaked and perfected and I hope you enjoy it as much as my friends!
Ingredients:
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup fat free sour cream
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4-1/2 tsp black pepper
1 can artichoke hearts (drained & finely chopped)
1 (8 oz) package reduced fat Philadelphia cream cheese (room temperature)
1 (8 oz) package fat free Philadelphia cream cheese (room temperature)
7 oz frozen chopped spinach (defrosted and water squeezed out)
2 TBSP chopped pickled jalapenos (gives it a nice tang/kick)
Dash of crushed red pepper flakes (love the red)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Combine 1.5 cups mozzarella cheese, sour cream, 2 TBSP parmesan cheese, and the next 6 ingredients
3. Mix/ blend well
4. Spoon into a baking dish
5. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese & 2 TBSP parmesan cheese
6. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes (top layer of cheese will be golden brown and bubbly)
Serve with tortilla and/or pita chips
XOXO,
Kinnari
