Equipment

  • 1 Food processor
  • 1 Heatproof glass bowl
  • 1 Soup Spoon

Ingredients

  • 500 grams/1 lb cream cheese Note 1
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 4 cups spinach leaves Note 2
  • 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoon dried onion
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • ½ tablespoon cracked black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350-375°F / Gas Mark 4-5.
  • Begin the dip: spoon the cream cheese into the heatproof dip bowl.
  • Prepare the spinach: add spinach leaves to food processor and blitz to combine.
  • Combine spinach mixture: add Greek yogurt to glass jug, then add blitzed spinach, dried onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • Spinach mixture into cream cheese: spoon the combined spinach mixture into the cream cheese.
  • Oven bake: place the dip into the oven and cook for 10 mins. Then remove, stir to combine and return the dip to the oven for a further 5 mins. Remove and stir again, then return to the oven for a final 5 mins.
  • Serve and enjoy: use oven mits to remove the dip from the oven. Place on timber board, spread crackers around the outside to serve and garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Note 1 - Cream cheese: I use 2 x 250 gram tubs of cream cheese. It won't matter if you use the block or the tub (ie spreadable version or not), however, measure to the equivalent 500 gram  (one pound) amount.
  • Note 2 - Spinach leaves: when measuring these, firmly pack them into the measuring cup. 
  • Note 3 - Dried onion: this is my go to when I want the onion flavour in a recipe without the time and tears. You will find it with the herbs and spices section in the supermarket, most commonly sold in a small plastic packet.
  • Note on serving size: this is a large dip and is aimed at feeding a crowd. For the serving size, I have estimated at minimum 24 dunks of crackers. It might be that you serve it for a party of 12 with a 2 dunk per person theory in mind.
