Ingredients
-
For the Dip:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 5 oz feta cheese (crumbled)
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 shallot (sliced)
- 10 oz fresh spinach (chopped)
- 1 jar or can artichoke hearts (chopped)
- 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
- 2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded)
-
For Roasting:
- 1 vine of cherry tomatoes (about 10–15 tomatoes)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
-
For Serving:
- Toasted baguette slices or thick pita chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Sauté the vegetables: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic and shallot until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the dip mixture: In a bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese and feta until smooth. Stir in chopped artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and the sautéed spinach mixture.
- Assemble the dip: Spread the dip mixture into a small baking dish and top with shredded Parmesan cheese.
- Roast the tomatoes: Place the cherry tomato vine on a separate baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and roast both the dip and the tomatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, top the dip with the roasted cherry tomatoes, and serve with toasted baguette slices or pita chips.
Notes
- Spice it up: Add more red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for extra heat.
- Cheese options: You can swap feta for goat cheese or use more Parmesan for a cheesier dip.
- Make it dairy-free: Use dairy-free cream cheese and plant-based cheese for a vegan version.
