Ingredients

  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed completely dry
  • 14 oz canned artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
  • 1 cup low -fat cottage cheese, blended until smooth
  • 1/2 cup non -fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic , finely minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place the cottage cheese in a high-speed blender or food processor and process until the texture is completely smooth and resembles heavy cream.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and half (1/4 cup) of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Incorporate the dried spinach and chopped artichoke hearts into the cheese mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.
  • Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  • Transfer the mixture into a 1-quart oven-safe baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the cheese on top has melted.
  • Optional: Set the oven to broil for the final 2 minutes to achieve a golden-brown crust on the cheese.
  • Serve warm with high-protein crackers or fresh vegetable crudites.
