Yummy spinach artichoke |
Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook it around for a couple of minutes over medium-low heat, just to get the oil really infused with the heavenly garlic flavor. |
Crank up the heat to medium-high and t throw a bag of spinach into the skillet with the butter and garlic |
Then cook it for a couple of minutes until it shrinks and wilts. Squeeze all the juice |
Cook the hearts around for several minutes, until most of the liquid cooks off and the artichokes develop a little color on the outside. |
Making the dip |
pour the feta cheese |
then the pepper jack |
Add cayenne for more flavor |
Chop the spinach and artichoke |
throw in the sauce and stir |
Pour the luscious mixture into a buttered casserole dish.. as for me i only have pyrex dish |
Top the casserole with a little more grated Pepper Jack and bake |
toast Garlic Bread and Serve hot with the dip |
