I gave in and made one of my weaknesses. Blame it on the small jar of marinaded artichokes that I found at the import food store last weekend. And I also won’t admit that this is what we ate for dinner last night, along with a sliced baguette and a big salad (oh wait … just did!) 
1 8-oz package of cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup mayo
1/4 cup sour cream
1 clove of garlic, minced
1/2 cup (or more) grated Parmesan cheese
1 small jar marinaded artichoke hearts, chopped
1 large bunch of spinach
2 TBS. fresh lemon juice
salt & pepper to taste
tabasco to taste
slices of french baguette, lightly toasted, for dipping
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees (190 C).
- In a pot of boiling water, cook the spinach for a few minutes, then drain, squeeze out excess water with a kitchen towel, and roughly chop. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayo, and sour cream and stir until smooth. Add the artichokes, spinach, garlic, Parmesan, lemon juice, salt & pepper, and tabasco.
- Grease a baking pan (I used a glass 8 x 8 in.) and pour in the dip, spreading evenly.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and light brown. Or stick it under the broiler for the last 5 minutes of baking time. Serve with slices of bread, crackers, or whatever. Oh, and double this recipe if it’s for a crowd. This was good enough for just the two of us along with some leftovers.
Not only could I eat this for dinner, it would be a tasty breakfeast….
Hey Brianna, this is Margot from Kirby (waaaaaaaay back in the day) and it’s confession time, I am a TOTAL blog stalker of yours, and not only that, but I also MAKE what you post! This is one of my favorites though, and I’ve made it for two different events this weekend! At today’s party it got RAVE reviews and I just wanted to let you know! (And to reveal the fact that I totally lurk on your blog and never comment!)
