CREAMY SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• To thaw the frozen spinach, place it in a fine mesh sieve and run cool water over it until the ice is all gone. Squeeze out all of the excess moisture in a tea towel or in fistfuls over the sink. Set aside.
• In a small-to-medium skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the green onions, poblano pepper, red pepper flakes (if using) and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the green onions are frazzled and lightly golden around the edges and the peppers are tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the drained spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, drained artichoke, and several twists of black pepper. While stirring constantly, cook until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together, warmed through and lightly steaming, about 2 to 4 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper, to taste (careful, the dip is hot!).
• Serve warm with any desired accompaniments. Leftover dip will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days. Gently reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.

UNBELIEVABLY CREAMY SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or spray a small baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. (The pan should hold 4 to 5 cups. An 8-inch round pan, 8-inch x 4-inch loaf pan, 8-inch square pan or small oval baking dish will work).
• Heat olive oil in a wide skillet with sides over medium heat then add minced garlic and cook about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the artichokes and cook 2 to 3 minutes until warmed through and beginning to brown around the edges. Add the spinach and season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the spinach wilts down, about 2 minutes. Transfer garlic, artichokes, and spinach to a bowl and set aside.
• Place the skillet back onto medium heat then add the butter. When the butter begins to bubble, add the flour. Cook, whisking constantly 2 to 3 minutes until butter smells fragrant and nutty - the color of the butter-flour mixture will be light brown. While whisking, slowly pour the milk into butter and flour mixture. Continue to cook, whisking constantly until the sauce bubbles and thickens.
• Remove pan from the heat. Stir in the cream cheese, cayenne pepper, and oregano. When the cream cheese has melted into the sauce, add feta cheese and half (1/2 cup) of the mozzarella cheese. Stir until completely melted. Stir in the garlic, artichokes, and spinach from earlier.
• Transfer the dip to baking dish and top with remaining mozzarella cheese (1/2 cup). Bake the dip until bubbly and the cheese begins to brown on top, 15 to 20 minutes. To make the cheese even more browed on top, turn oven to broil and broil 1 to 2 minutes. Serve warm.
