I love spinach and artichoke dip. Who doesn't? It's always a hit at any party, and it's especially impressive when it's homemade.
As delicious as some of the recipes are, I wondered if there was a way to clean up the ingredients a bit, simplifying complex recipes down.
Instead of sour cream, something to which I've always been averse, I decided Greek yogurt would be a nice way to add a creamy consistency, while also packing a protein punch.
It was also important to me to use some fresh, real cheese. I was planning to go pick up some gruyere to try, since my friend Erica had just reminded me how delicious it is. Thought it'd be a nice way to fancy up the cheese. On my way to the store, though, I happened to pass a farmer's market, where I found this local, raw milk "Monterey Hot Jack" cheese. Just like that, my plans changed.
Bonus…
