Ingredients
- 2 cups (180g) frozen spinach
- ¼ cup (60ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (80g) jack cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3-5 dashes hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese
Preparation
- Add all the ingredients except the cream cheese into the Anyday dish and mix to combine. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
- Cook in the microwave for 6 minutes. The dip should look thick, cheese melted and bubbly.
- Remove lid, add cream cheese, and stir. Cover and cook in the microwave for 1 minute.
- Stir the ingredients until the dip looks emulsified, creamy, and well incorporated.
- Sprinkle some more cheese on top and enjoy.
Serving suggestions & tips
- If using fresh spinach, cook the spinach by itself in batches first for 30 seconds to a minute for each batch. Then, wring out most of the liquid before adding the other ingredients.
- To brown the top, transfer dip to a broiler-safe dish and place under the broiler for a few minutes!
- Try replacing the jack cheese with mozzarella, swiss, or smoked gouda for some new flavors.
- Mix in chopped canned artichoke hearts or water chestnuts for a heartier dip.
- Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
