Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 8 ounces Nancy's Organic Cultured Cream Cheese
- 1 cup Nancy's Organic Whole Milk Yogurt
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
- 1 ounce package ranch dressing mix
Topping and Garnish
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions (thinly sliced)
- Tortilla chips or fresh vegetables (to serve)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the dip evenly.
- Mix ingredients: In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese, whole milk yogurt, 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, thawed and drained spinach, and ranch dressing mix. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Bake the dip: Spoon the combined mixture into a shallow baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to heat through.
- Add cheese topping: Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the additional 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Return the dish to the oven and bake for about five more minutes until the cheese topping melts and becomes bubbly.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and garnish the dip with thinly sliced green onions. Serve warm with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure to thoroughly thaw and drain the frozen spinach to prevent excess moisture in the dip.
- For a smoother texture, you can blend the mixture briefly before baking.
- This dip can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
- Feel free to substitute the ranch dressing mix with your favorite seasoning blend for a different flavor profile.
