Ingredients

  

• 16 oz frozen artichoke hearts
• 1 medium sweet onion chopped
• 2 tbsp butter
• 8 oz cream cheese softened
• 8 oz mozzarella cheese shredded
• 8 oz Monterey Jack cheese shredded
• 6 – 8 oz Swiss cheese shredded
• 4 oz parmesan cheese shredded
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Defrost the frozen spinach. I microwave the 16 oz of frozen spinach for about 4 minutes, then drain and squeeze as much water out as possible.
• Chop a medium size sweet onion.
• Saute the onion in about 2 tablespoons butter, until the onions are soft. Remove from heat.
• Stir in the spinach to combine.
• Shred the cheese. We’re using 8 oz of Monterey Jack, 8 oz of mozzarella and 6 – 8 oz of Swiss cheese.
• Measure out all of the spices. Mix together, and set aside.
• Microwave 16 oz of frozen artichoke hearts (not marinated), then drain and chop into bite size pieces.
• In a large bowl, combine the spice mixture with the shredded and softened cream cheese.
• Add the chopped artichoke hearts and the spinach onion mixture. And mix thoroughly, it looks like a lot but it’ll come together quickly. You could do this in a food processor, but hand mixing helps the keep a nice, chunky texture in the dip, with pockets of delicious cheese.
• Transfer to an oven safe dish. Top with parmesan cheese and bake in a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes for a small dish, about 15 minutes for a larger casserole size dish, or until it’s hot and the cheese is melted.
