Crab Spinach Artichoke Dip


Dips. I enjoy them. There are many foods I view simply as vehicles for dip delivery- crackers for example; like little portable mouth sized plates.

Here are three of my faves  all melded into one.

This recipe does not have all the greasy/fatty/guilty ingredients you are used to but I promise you it will still be creamy, rich and delicious.

In Blender combine:

2 C Cottage Cheese (FF/LowFat)
1 Egg
1-2 Cloves Minced Garlic

Blend til smooth

~8 oz fresh spinach Coarse chop and cook til barely wilted

In baking dish combine:

Blender mix of egg, cottage cheese and garlic
Spinach
1/2 C Shredded Mozzarella
1/2-1C Crab
1/2-1C Chopped Artichoke Hearts (I use prepared Artichoke hearts. If you are using fresh, cook them first.)
Top with a bit more shredded cheese

Bake @350 for 20 minutes
For a more browned top you can broil for a couple minutes under a watchful eye :)



Edits:
-You can add more or less crab and artichoke depending on availability. If you are using frozen spinach be absolutely sure to get all the water out.

-I am on a fancy, annoying diet called the IC Smart diet which means some super yummy foods are off limits. If this diet was not in play I would have also added sauteed minced onion cooked with an amazing amount of red pepper flakes.
