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.
