Artichoke Dip Or Sandwich Spread Food

ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• To a mixing bowl add sour cream, mayo, cream cheese, garlic and 1 cup of parmesan cheese. Combine until smooth.
• Stir in chopped artichoke hearts and a little bit of dill weed, to taste.
• Place in a greased baking dish (most pan sizes around 8x8 in or a little smaller will work. You could even use a pie pan).
• Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese on top. Sprinkle with a little extra dill weed, if desired.
• Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve warm with crackers, bread, or veggies.

SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE SPREAD

Steps:

• Squeeze the drained spinach with a kitchen towel to dry it out. Place into a food processor with the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, lemon zest and juice. Puree until smooth. Taste for seasoning and add the artichokes. Pulse 2 to 3 times to leave the artichokes slightly chunky.

ARTICHOKE SPREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place the artichoke hearts in a food processor and process until smooth. Process the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic and dill with the artichoke hearts until the mixture is smooth and well blended. Transfer to a 9 inch pie pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven 10 to 15 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly brown.

SIMPLE ARTICHOKE DIP

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

ARTICHOKE-BASIL SPREAD

Steps:

ARTICHOKE DIP OR SANDWICH SPREAD

ARTICHOKE AND SPINACH DIP CHICKEN PANINI

Steps:

• Stir together the artichokes, spinach, sour cream, fontina and Parmesan in a bowl. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
• Preheat a grill pan or panini press on medium heat.
• Spread the artichoke mixture on all the slices of bread. Place 1 layer of chicken on 4 of the bread slices, then top each with a couple of layers of roasted red peppers. Top with the remaining bread. Brush the outside of each sandwich with some olive oil.
• Place the sandwiches on the grill pan or in the panini press. If using a grill pan, place a cast-iron skillet or brick wrapped in foil on top of the sandwiches to weigh them down. Cook, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and the cheese is melted and gooey in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. If using a panini press cook 6 to 10 minutes total.

ARTICHOKE DIP BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray and line with parchment, leaving the sides overhanging. Spray parchment.
• In a large bowl, whisk to combine the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour into the prepared dish and bake until eggs are set, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, stir to combine the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Fold in the parmesan cheese, spinach and artichokes and season with salt and pepper.
• Use a serrated knife to cut the rolls in half horizontally, then place bottom half in a 9x13 baking dish. Top the bread with the spinach artichoke dip, then shredded mozzarella. Turn the eggs out of the pan on top of the cheese, then top with the ham. Place the top half of the bread over the ham and brush with melted butter.
• Bake until the cheeses are melted and the tops are golden, about 20-25 minutes. Cut the bread into sandwiches and serve.

SPICY JALAPENO ARTICHOKE DIP

Steps:

• Drain and chop artichoke hearts.
• Combine artichoke hearts with remaining ingredients. Use as much or little of the jalapenos as you can handle. (When I make this for my family, I use an entire can, but when I make it for guests, I usually only use half of the can.).
• Pour into baking dish.
• Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and paprika.
• Bake at 400 degrees until bubbles around edges.
• Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, as a sandwich spread, etc.
• NOTE: Depending on preference, you can do a rough chop on the artichokes for a chunkier dip, or you can put all the ingredients (except for the cheese) in a blender to puree for a smoother dip.
