Warm Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Serves: 4 to 6
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 pkg (5 oz) spinach
⅓ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
⅓ cup grated Asiago cheese
8 oz reduced-fat plain brick-style cream cheese

Pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
2 jars (6 oz) artichoke hearts, well drained and finely chopped
1 pkg (4.5 oz) Crunchmaster® Multi-Seed Crackers
Preheat oven to 400º F. Heat oil in large skillet set over medium heat; cook spinach for about 3 minutes or until wilted. Let cool completely. Squeeze out excess moisture and chop finely. Combine mozzarella, Parmesan and Asiago cheeses; reserve ¼ cup and set aside. Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, cayenne (if desired) and remaining cheese mixture; beat until blended. Stir in spinach and artichokes. Scrape into greased 4-cup baking dish. Sprinkle with reserved cheese mixture. Place on baking sheet; bake for about 15 minutes or until heated through and top is golden brown and melted. Serve warm with crackers.
To make ahead, assemble dip, cover and refrigerate. Bake just before serving and serve warm.
