Servings 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup Marinated Artichoke Hearts chopped
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- ½ cup Sour Cream
- 5 ounces Parmesan cheese
- 1 clove Garlic minced
- ¾ teaspoon Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
- 1 cup Lump Crab Meat drained and picked through for shells
- 1 cup Frozen Spinach thawed and squeezed dry
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F. Rough chop the artichoke hearts.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic, black pepper, crab meat, and spinach until fully combined.1 cup Marinated Artichoke Hearts, 1 cup Mayonnaise, ½ cup Sour Cream, 5 ounces Parmesan cheese, 1 clove Garlic, ¾ teaspoon Freshly Cracked Black Pepper, 1 cup Lump Crab Meat, 1 cup Frozen Spinach
- Lightly spray a small baking dish with cooking spray. Spread the dip mixture evenly into the dish.
- Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly with a lightly golden top.
- Garnish with parsley, if desired, and serve warm with your favorite dippers, like crackers, toasted baguette slices, or pita bread.
Notes
- Spinach prep: If using frozen spinach, squeeze out excess moisture to avoid a watery dip. Make sure to pick up chopped spinach and not whole leaf spinach.
- Drain the artichokes: Make sure to drain the liquid from the artichokes. You can use canned or jarred.
- Break up the crab meat: Use a fork to break up the crab meat into smaller pieces so it blends well with the other ingredients.
- Make ahead: You can easily prepare this dip in advance! Simply cover it with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container, and it will keep in the fridge for up to 2 days. While it's perfectly fine to enjoy it cold or at room temperature, for the ultimate cheesy, gooey experience, I highly recommend reheating it before serving!
- Freezer: I don't recommend freezing this dip.
