  • 14 oz can artichokes hearts chopped
  • 10 oz box chopped spinach cooked and drained
  • 1/2 yellow onion diced
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup Italian mixed cheese shredded
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt/pepper to taste

For the sandwiches:

  • butter for spreading
  • sliced potato bread or similar

  • Turn heat to low and add spinach and artichoke hearts. Mix to combine.
  • Next add cream cheese and shredded Italian mixed cheese, stirring until melted.

  • Top with Parmesan cheese and bake for 15 minutes.
  • *Optional: Turn oven to broil and brown the cheese on top to make a crust for about 1-2 minutes.

To assemble the sandwiches:

  • Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and coat with non stick spray..
  • Butter one side of each slice of bread and place all four slices, butter side down, in the skillet.
  • Add a heaping 1/2 cup scoop onto two slices of bread and heat for a couple minutes until the bread is toasted.
  • Top with the other slice of toasted bread and remove to a plate.
  • Slice and serve warm.

Spinach and Artichoke Dip has been a comfort food favorite of mine forever but when I moved to Louisiana a few years ago I discovered a twist on the boring regular ol’ tortilla chip I was used to serving with my dip. In Louisiana they serve Spinach and Artichoke Dip hot out of the oven with crispy fried Bow-Tie Pasta Dippers! I have had the in restaurants all across the state and now I won’t eat my Spinach Dip with anything else! Don’t be intimidated, they are super simple and don’t take long at all to make a bowl full. In fact, I fried all of mine while my Spinach Dip was browning in the oven. 
Talk about Southern inspired comfort food!
