Recipe by the Clif Family Culinary Team
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. fresh spinach
8 oz. cream cheese
8 oz. feta
8 oz. grated fontina
4 oz. finely grated Parmesan Reggiano
1 6 oz. jar of artichoke hearts, drained of liquid and roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 shallot, finely minced
2 Tbsp. Clif Family White Wine Seasoning Blend
2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
Salt to taste
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350° F. Blanch the spinach in generously salted boiling water for 10 seconds and shock in an ice bath. Ring out excess water and finely chop. Combine all ingredients in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until homogeneous. You can also mix by hand with a mixing bowl and spatula. Transfer to an oven-proof crock or baking dish and bake until the top starts to caramelize, about 25-30 minutes. Stir and adjust seasoning with salt if necessary. Serve with fresh bread, pita, chips, or your favorite crackers.
