Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups Fresh spinach
- 14 ounces Canned artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
- 8 ounces Low-fat cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly coat a baking dish with olive oil cooking spray and set aside.
In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil. Add the fresh spinach and blanch for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Drain and press out excess water, then roughly chop the spinach.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, drained and chopped artichoke hearts, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with whole-grain crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
