Ingredients

  • 8 ounces goat cheese
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • ⅓ cup plain yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 14 ounces canned artichoke quarters drained and chopped
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 10 grinds fresh black pepper
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh herbs such as parsley, thyme, rosemary, or sage chopped
  • 1½ cups white cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375℉. Allow cream cheese and goat cheese to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes for easier mixing.
  • Add all ingredients, except for the shredded cheddar, to a bowl and mix well with a fork until fully combined.
  • Transfer to a baking dish and top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Broil for a few minutes to brown the top.

Notes

  • To Make Crostini - Slice baguette and toss on a sheet pan with olive oil.  You can add dried herbs, garlic and onion powder if you like.  Bake along with the artichoke dip at 375° but only for about 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Make Ahead - Dip can be assembled a day or two in advance, wrapped and stored unbaked in the fridge.  Allow to come to room temperature on the counter for about 30 minutes before baking.
  • Mix and mash the dip with a fork, this takes a little bit of time but keep mixing!
  • Yogurt can be substituted with sour cream or mayonnaise.
  • Use fresh spinach, not frozen.  If you don't have fresh, you can omit the spinach.
  • Fresh herbs are best, or substitute ½ teaspoon dried thyme.
  • Salt - If you are trying to eat less salt, you can omit it, this recipe is still plenty flavorful without it.
