Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 (14-ounce) can of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced or grated
  • ½ cup frozen chopped spinach*, thawed and squeezed to remove liquid
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350℉.
  2. Mist an 8-inch square baking dish or 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the artichoke hearts, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, ¾ cup Parmesan cheese, garlic, spinach, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup Parmesan cheese over top.
  6. Bake, uncovered, until the dip is hot and bubbly with golden edges, 20-25 minutes. Serve warm with veggies, chips, crackers, or bread.
  7. Optional Crockpot Method:
  8. Combine all ingredients in a small (1½- to 2-quart) slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours. Stir well before serving.

Notes

* Fresh spinach option: Cook 10 ounces of fresh spinach in a skillet with a little drizzle of olive oil. Once the spinach has cooked down, let it cool before squeezing the liquid out of it. I just get a big paper towel, scoop the spinach into it, and gently squeeze.
