INSTRUCTIONS
Spinach Artichoke Dip:
- Prepare your ingredients. Remove tough or long stems from the 6 ounces of fresh spinach, then roughly chop, place in a bowl, and set aside.
- Chop the 6 ounces of thawed or partially thawed artichoke hearts and set aside. Note that this is half of a bag of frozen artichoke hearts. Save the other half for the next time you make this dip!
- Dice a few slices of sun-dried tomatoes, until you have 2 tablespoons of diced sun-dried tomatoes. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan or Dutch Oven, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute.
- Add chopped fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in chopped artichoke hearts and continue cooking over medium heat.
- Stir in softened cream cheese and stir with spatula.
- After cream cheese has melted, add seasonings (pepper, salt, paprika) and stir just until mixed.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Continue to cook over medium heat until hot. Turn to low heat to keep warm while you finish preparing the dippers.
Pizza Crust Wedges
- Use a pastry brush to brush olive oil all over surface of one Udi's pizza crust.
- Sprinkle fresh ground pepper, sea salt, and pinches of garlic powder on oiled crust.
- Bake on a greased pizza pan or baking sheet in 400° oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and use a pizza cutter to slice into 16 wedges. Serve immediately, as these harden the longer they sit out.
- Note: if you are using other brand pizza crust, you may need to bake longer. The Udi's crust is pre-baked.
- Store leftover dip in refrigerator. It warms up nicely in microwave or on stove-top.
