Skinny Spinach Artichoke Dip

Ingredients

• 8 oz. reduced fat cream cheese (, softened)
• 1/2 cup low fat sour cream ((or fat free))
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese (, divided)
• 1-14 oz. can artichoke hearts (, drained and rinsed)
• 1-10 oz. package frozen spinach (, thawed)
• 1/2 tsp. minced garlic
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a small baking dish (I used a smaller dish, you can use an 8x8-inch pan if you like) with cooking spray and set aside.

2. 2

   Drain and rinse the artichoke hearts, then coarsely chop them. Squeeze any excess water from the frozen spinach and set both aside.*

3. 3

   Using a handheld or stand mixer, mix the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Stir in the parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined. Then add in the artichoke hearts and spinach and mix under well incorporated.

4. 4

   Spread the mixture in the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.

5. 5

   Bake for 15 minutes or until heated through. Broil for an additional minute or two to get the cheese more browned, if you prefer.

6. 6

   Serve immediately.
