Ingredients

8 servings

10 ounces frozen spinach (thawed and drained {I used my hands to squeeze the water out})
14 ounces artichoke hearts (chopped)
1/2 lemon (juiced)
4 ounces light cream cheese
3/4 cup Greek yogurt ({whole 2 % or non-fat will work just fine})
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper ({optional})
1 cup shredded mozzarella ({divided})
1/2 cup asiago cheese (shredded {or you substitute whatever cheese you want here if you can't find asiago})
2 Tablespoons parmesan cheese

Method

1
Before making this dip you want to make sure your spinach is completely thawed. Once it is thawed you can use your hands or a cheese cloth to press the water out. Set the spinach aside.
2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl mix together the spinach, artichokes, lemon juice, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, garlic, crushed red pepper, 1/2 a cup of mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup asiago cheese.
3
In a medium sized baking dish spoon the artichoke mixture into the baking dish and spread so it is in an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and the parmesan cheese over the top of the spinach artichoke dip.
4
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and just starting to turn golden brown on some of the edges.
5
Serve with pita chips or bread, crusty bread or crackers.
