Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Spinach & Artichoke Dip Ingredients:
- 1 package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 green chili, finely chopped
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Instructions:
-
Thaw and Drain Spinach: Begin by thawing the frozen spinach and ensuring that it’s well-drained. Squeeze out all the excess liquid to achieve a creamy consistency.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed spinach with finely chopped green chili, grated parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, chopped artichoke hearts, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Give it a good mix, ensuring that all the ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the top achieves a delightful golden brown hue.
-
Serve with Pita Chips: While the dip is baking to perfection, let’s prepare some homemade Pita Chips to accompany this flavorful masterpiece.
Pita Chips Ingredients:
- 1 package whole wheat pita bread, cut into wedges
- Olive oil or vegetable cooking spray
- Seasoning (such as Mrs. Dash)
Pita Chips Instructions:
-
Prepare Pita Wedges: Cut the whole wheat pita bread into 8-12 wedges per slice. Arrange the pita wedges on a cookie sheet in a single layer.
-
Season and Bake: If you’re using olive oil, brush the pita wedges with olive oil and then sprinkle with your favorite seasoning. Alternatively, if using cooking spray, sprinkle the seasoning first and then lightly spray. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until the chips are crisp, approximately 20 minutes. Consider turning them halfway through for an even crispiness on both sides.
