With creamy spinach and artichokes, and a melted cap of Comté cheese, this warm spinach and artichoke dip is one of my favorite appetizers ever. Best of all, it can be entirely prepped the day before, and then baked off right before your guests arrive. (Video below!!)
While I love entertaining and planning menus, I often struggle with the appetizers. After all of the dinner prep, and the cleaning of the house (i.e. stuffing of kid socks and doll clothes in bins), and the setting of the table, the appetizer inevitably takes backseat to the rest of the meal planning. BUT, I truly love offering my friends a bite of something delicious when they arrive—something that smells and tastes irresistible, and that can pair well with a cocktail or glass of bubbly.
Oven Reheating Method The oven method for reheating spinach dip efficiently retains the dip’s creamy texture and prevents the ingredients from separating. This process involves gentle heating and can incorporate additional cheese for enhanced flavor and texture.
Fresh spinach artichoke dip
While I grew up on spinach dips that used gobs of mayonnaise and frozen spinach, this version takes an lighter, elevated approach with loads of fresh spinach, cream cheese, a touch of crème fraiche and Comté cheese.
What do you serve with artichoke dip?
This dip can be served with fresh bread, toasted crostini, crackers, pita chips and/or vegetables for dipping. Some good veggie options include endive leaves, carrots, fennel and celery.
While the warm spinach and artichoke dip is a party favorite, it also makes for a fun weeknight supper. I’m always looking for ways to switch up our dinnertime routine, and serving the dip as the mealtime centerpiece, with crusty bread and a big salad alongside, is always a hit. In fact, its one of the few ways that both of my kids happily shovel down spinach (Juniper literally eats the dip with a spoon)! It’s an easy meal that can make an average Wednesday feel festive.
