Rach's quick & easy spinach-artichoke dip is made with cream cheese, yogurt + cheese. 

Rach's Serving Recommendations:

  • Slather this on focaccia or flatbreads to make Spinach & Artichoke Pizza.
  • Top a chicken paillard (thinly pounded butterflied chicken breasts) with this mixture for a high-protein/low-carb keto-friendly alternative to individual pizzas: Creamy Spinach & Artichoke Chicken.
  • Heat this in a cast-iron skillet for a warm dip with fancy olive oil and herb chips and slab-cut bell peppers or garlic and herb pita chips.

Add spinach and season with salt and pepper, red pepper flakes, nutmeg (Rach uses her multi-grater), lemon zest, add artichokes and heat, add cheeses, yogurt and lemon juice and melt ingredients into a uniform thick but even mixture, broil to brown, or top bread or chicken and add more cheeses, bake to brown and bubbly at 400˚F.
