Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 cup Artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained and chopped)
- 1 cup Nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces Reduced-fat cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or casserole dish and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the fresh spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and squeeze out excess liquid. Roughly chop the spinach and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add the chopped artichoke hearts, Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the mixing bowl with the spinach. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the dip is hot and bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with baked tortilla chips, whole-grain crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
