What Type of Cheese to Use

You will need Parmesan Reggiano cheese, white cheddar, mozzarella, and cream cheese. Ultimately, you can use whatever cheese you wish.

Parmesan Reggiano (the real name is Parmigiano Reggiano) is high-quality cheese. It’s REAL Parmesan and is always made in Italy. Cheese labeled “Parmesan Cheese” can be made anywhere and is an imitation. Parmigiano Reggiano is more expensive and has a noticeable difference in taste. Once you’ve had it, you will never want to go back to imitation.

I recommend you purchase the cheese in block form and grate it yourself. Pre-shredded cheese has potato starch and chemical preservatives. It doesn’t melt as well and won’t get the dip super creamy.

What Type of Spinach to Use. Fresh or Frozen?

You can use either fresh or frozen. If you use frozen you will need to thaw it first, and drain all of the excess water. If you use a frozen block, once it melts the remaining liquid will create a soupy mess and you will struggle to thicken the dip.

If using thawed frozen, be sure to properly drain the excess water. Otherwise, you will encounter the issue noted above.

Super easy and delicious! I split the recipe in half - we demolished half of it on Thanksgiving and then I brought the other half to a get together the next day to rave reviews. I normally follow recipes exactly, but I used whipped cream cheese since that's all I had, and it was super easy to mix in. Adding this into my rotation of party contributions!

Sooo good! I added artichokes. My husband loves spinach and artichoke dip and said this was really good. He was even eating it before I placed it on the oven. Thank you for another easy and delicious recipe.

I make this every time I plan to have a Netflix binge. It is that good for mindless snacking without the guilt while on Keto.

I’ve mad this a half dozen times, and am making it again tonight. 10/10. Make it.
