Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

SPINACH – Fresh or frozen spinach work well for this recipe. If using frozen, thaw and drain the water from the spinach before adding.

ARTICHOKES – We are using canned artichoke hearts, but frozen artichokes can be substituted in their place. Just like the frozen spinach, thaw and drain the artichokes before using.

CHEESE AND DAIRY – You may substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream as desired. Using different cheeses (grated vs shredded vs shaved) will bring more texture and different melting consistencies to the dip for a multi-level feel. Our cheeses of choice are shredded mozzarella, shaved parmesan cheese, grated pecorino romano cheese, and cream cheese. I would recommend fresh blocks of cheese over store-bought pre-shredded cheese to avoid a grainy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips

Can I make spinach artichoke dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can easily make this dip a day in advance. To do so, mix all ingredients together, place in a baking dish or skillet tightly covered in plastic wrap (or in an air-tight container), and store it in the fridge. Heat in the oven as you normally would, extending the time as needed until it is bubbly and browned on top.

Can I make this in the crockpot?

Though we have not tested it in the crockpot, I don’t see why it would be a problem. I would suggest placing the mixed ingredients in the slow cooker on high for around 2 hours, checking occasionally for doneness.

How do I store leftovers?

You can store leftover spinach and artichoke dip in an air-tight container kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or on the stovetop until warmed through.
