CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 package of cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 8 oz frozen spinach
  • 1 can or bottle of artichoke hearts

  • 1/4 c. fine bread crumbs
  • 1/4 c. parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS
  1. Warm (in microwave) 1 package of cream cheese with a tablespoon of olive oil if you have it (okay to omit olive oil) -- in a nice glass or ceramic oven-safe bowl.
  2. Add 8 oz frozen spinach that has been thawed and mostly drained. Stir.
  3. Add 1 can or bottle of artichoke hearts, mostly drained and chopped fine (I whiz mine in the food processor if they are too big in the bottle).
  4. Add a pinch or two of salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, onion flakes, and garlic powder to taste.
  5. Add 1/2 cup grated or pre-packaged parmesan cheese and stir everything together.
  6. On top of this, sprinkle a mixture of 1/4 c. fine bread crumbs, 1/4 c. parmesan cheese and a little more garlic powder. Heat up in a low oven (300 or so) until the cheese is melted and it's a little brown.
  7. Serve with french bread, pita, triscuits, or other crackers or bread as desired. Yum!
