Its A Meal Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe

	Lesliegw / All my dishes 1 year, 2 months ago This is basically one of Emeril's recipes. I've adapted it slightly to suit my personal tastes, but it's pretty much his recipe. If I don't make it to a family function without this dip, then I'm not allowed in the front door. This is a crowd pleaser a step above the rest.... More Prep:30m Cook:30m Servings:8	Lesliegw

Ingredients

2 (10-ounce) packages fresh spinach, well rinsed and stems trimmed

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup chopped yellow onions

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup milk

1 cup heavy cream

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

1 cup 1/2-inch cubes rindless Brie (If you can't find rindless, just buy it with the rind, and cut it off - remember that you lose a little cheese if you have to do this - and you don't want to scrimp on the cheese)

1 cup grated Monterey Jack

1 (6 1/2-ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (I use 2 jars)

4 strips bacon, fried crisp, drained and chopped

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

Garlic french bread, toasted and sliced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch round chafing dish and set aside.

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the spinach in batches and cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and refresh under cold running water. Squeeze to remove all excess water and chop. Set aside. In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, to make a light roux, about 2 minutes. Add the milk and cream in a steady stream, and cook, stirring constantly, until thick and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cooked spinach and lemon juice, and stir to incorporate. Add the cubed and grated cheeses, artichoke hearts, and bacon, and stir well. Remove from the heat and pour into the prepared dish. Top with the Parmesan and bake until bubbly, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve hot with fresh, toasted garlic bread.
