Spinach & Artichoke Dip 2 Ways

Probably one of the most recognizable and favoured dips out there, spinach and artichoke dip has it all. Zingy and tender artichokes, an abundance of green, fresh spinach, and copious amounts of cheese, baked until bubbly and beautiful. It really has it all! That's why I'm sharing with you guys 2 different ways to enjoy the same spinach dip depending on your preferences.

First off, I've whipped up a batch of stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer that's hard to resist. However, if you're not so much a mushroom fan, perhaps you'll like my second variety, spinach and artichoke dip stuffed pretzel rolls! Both options are delicious and use the same base spinach dip recipe. Let' get into these recipes!

SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP STUFFED PRETZEL ROLLS

We've all had spinach and artichoke dip stuffed bread bowls but how fun that we can dish them up in individual bowls for people to enjoy. A fun appetizer that allows guests to double dip without the worry that someone else is watching and cringing over the second dip. Here's the recipe!

 Spinach & Artichoke Dip Stuffed Pretzel Rolls



Prep Time: 20 Min

Cook Time: 25 - 30 Min

​ 

1. Begin melting the butter in a large frying pan set to medium heat. Once heated, add half the pepper flakes, garlic, and onion. Stir and cook 3 – 4 minutes. Stir in the fresh spinach and a generous pinch of sea salt. Continue to cook until spinach is wilted, and liquid has cooked off, approximately another 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

 

1. Preheat oven to 350 F

 

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, artichokes, 1 C mozzarella, mayo, half the fresh parsley, the green onions (reserving a little for garnish), vegeta, garlic and onion powders, and remaining pepper flakes. Stir in the sautéed spinach until everything is combined.

 

1. Using a small, sharp knife, cut a bowl out of the pretzel roll making sure not to cut right through. Remove the center of the roll revealing a pretzel bowl. Discard or keep the removed portions. Stuff the dip into bowls until it comes to the rim of the bowl. Top with remaining mozzarella split between bowl and place on a baking sheet.

 

1. Bake the pretzel bowls for 25 minutes. Set the oven to broil 500 F and let the cheesy dip inside the bowls bubble up and brown on top, about 3 – 4 minutes. Keep on eye on them because they will burn quickly.

 

1. Remove from oven and sprinkle with reserved parsley & green onions. Serve with pita chips & ENJOY!
