How to make Yard house spinach dip

Ingredients

Spinach Mixture:

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)

Cheese Topping:

  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Step 3:

Spread the spinach mixture evenly into a baking dish.

Step 4:

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the spinach mixture.

Step 5:

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese topping is golden brown.

Step 6:

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve with tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Tips

  • Freshly minced garlic adds a punch of flavor. If you prefer a milder taste, you can sauté the garlic briefly before adding it to the mixture.
  • Use a shallow baking dish to ensure the dip heats evenly and the top becomes nicely browned without overcooking the bottom.
  • Keep an eye on the dip while it’s baking. You want the cheese to be golden and bubbly, but not burnt. Oven temperatures can vary, so adjust the time as needed.
  • Let the dip cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows it to set slightly and makes it easier to scoop without being too hot.

How to enjoy Yard House spinach dip?

I love to enjoy my Yard House Spinach Dip in many different ways. For a classic snack, I use crispy tortilla chips that add a nice crunch to the creamy dip. Warm pita bread or pita chips are also great for dipping. Fresh vegetables like carrot sticks, celery, bell pepper strips, and cucumber slices make a healthy choice. A sliced baguette or any crusty bread, especially if toasted, works well too.

Sometimes, I fill mushroom caps with the dip and bake them for a tasty treat. It’s also delicious as a spread on sandwiches or wraps. For a special touch, I top baked potatoes with the dip, making them extra creamy and flavorful. These simple and delicious ideas make enjoying Yard House Spinach Dip easy and fun!
