This isn't your typical spinach dip. It has a jalapeno pepper in it that really takes it to a new place.
Ingredients
- 1 10oz package of frozen, chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry shopping list
- 1 8oz package of cream cheese, softened shopping list
- 6 tablespoons of milk shopping list
- 2 cups of tomatoes, seeded and chopped (about 4 medium) shopping list
- 1/2 cup onion, minced (about 1 small onion) shopping list
- 1 jalapeno pepper, deseeded and minced shopping list
- Pita chips: 4 large pitas cut into 6ths, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon lemon pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Squeeze the excess water out of the spinach.
- In a large bowl, combine the spinach, cream cheese, milk, tomatoes, onion and jalapeno pepper. Mix well to blend thoroughly.
- Spoon into an ovenproof quiche pan (a small pie plate will work too) and bake for 20 minutes.
- While the dip is baking, cut the pitas into wedges. Mix the cumin and lemon pepper together in a small bowl.
- Place the pitas on a nonstick baking sheet and brush with the olive oil. Sprinkle with the cumin/lemon pepper mixture.
- When the dip is done baking, broil the pitas until they are lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
- Let the dip cool briefly, and serve it in the middle of a platter surrounded by the pita wedges.
- NOTES: The pita wedges are so tasty prepared this way and can be served alone, in place of garlic bread, or with other dips and spreads.
