Description
A delicious creamy dip made with spinach, artichokes, and a blend of cheeses, perfect for dipping with bread or vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
- Kosher salt (as needed)
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese (at room temperature, cut into 1” cubes)
- ¾ cup shredded low-moisture, part-skim mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded Asiago cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Instructions
- Add the spinach to a food processor fitted with the blade attachment and pulse until finely chopped.
- Heat a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, add the olive oil, and heat through. Add the onions and sauté, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the red pepper flakes and balsamic vinegar followed by the artichokes and spinach. Season with salt.
- Stir in the heavy cream followed by the cream cheese. Continue to stir, cooking over medium heat until the cream cheese blends and the mixture is creamy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the mozzarella, Asiago, Parmesan, and Pecorino cheeses, stirring to combine. Lower heat to medium-low and continue to cook until the cheese has completely melted, about an additional 2 minutes.
- Serve hot with bread, chips, or vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- For a spicier dip, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes.
- This dip can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
