Cottage Cheese Spinach Artichoke Dip
Creamy cheesy garlicky high protein spinach artichoke dip made with a cottage cheese and mozzarella base.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 16 oz. cottage cheese I recommend full-fat
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 1 cup parmesan cheese shredded or grated
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese divided + extra for topping if desired
- 10 oz. frozen chopped spinach thawed, drained very well*
- 14 oz. artichoke hearts chopped, drained very well*
- 4 cloves garlic cloves finely minced or microplaned
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large bowl add cottage cheese, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese (save ½ cup for topping), spinach, artichokes, garlic cloves, onion powder, salt, pepper and lemon juice. Mix very well until combined.
- Lightly spray a 9x9” baking dish with oil and pour the dip mixture in. Top with remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese (or more to taste!).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbling and cheese is golden brown. Note: If the mixture is bubbling but you want your cheese to be more golden brown, broil on high for 30-60 seconds- watch closely.
- Enjoy with tortilla chips, crostini or your favorite crackers.
Notes
*Make sure to drain spinach and artichokes very well. I like to use a colander and gently pat dry with a paper towel or a clean kitchen towel.
