Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Defrost your frozen spinach and squeeze it dry of any excess liquid.  I usually use a large glass bowl to microwave it until it's defrosted.  Then, use paper towels or a kitchen towel to squeeze dry the spinach.  It has a lot of liquid, and you want to get it as dry as possible.  It should look like one big clump when you are done!
  • Drain the water from the can of artichokes.  Cut all the artichoke quarters in half.  
  • Place mayo, yogurt, salt, pepper, garlic, parmesan cheese, and ⅓ of the artichokes in a food processor or high-powered blender.  Blend until well combined. 
  • Stir in the spinach, then the remaining artichokes, and finally, ¾ cup fontina cheese.  
  • Spread the mixture evenly into an oven-safe dish. I used a 1.5qt/1.5L dish. Top with ¼ cup of shredded Fontina cheese. 
  • Bake covered with foil for 20 minutes, then uncovered for an additional 20-25 minutes (or until hot and bubbly.) 
  • Turn the oven to broil and let the dip broil for about 5 minutes until it slightly browns on the top.  The broiler works quickly, so watch it!  Yours could take anywhere from 1-5 minutes!
