If you can't go to a dinner party or bar for a hot appetizer dip, try the homemade option! While many homemade dips feature complicated steps and/or result in too much dip for one person to eat, the King Arthur Flour Hot Spinach Dip recipe produces a great solo or a small group snack.
The recipe has three steps – pre-heat the oven, mix the ingredients together, and bake. Couldn't be easier, and as I found through my two attempts at halved versions, very adaptable to shifting the ingredients.
Both times I made the dip I used low fat sour cream, low fat mayonnaise and fresh mozzarella. The first time I made this recipe, I used slightly more mozzarella in the halved dip (measured ingredients with a scale), and second time, I dramatically reduced the mayonnaise and increased the sour cream a bit. I didn't notice either time anything I disliked about the dip, which was thick, creamy and savory from the spinach and salted ingredients.
This dip will be a winter feature in my kitchen, and I hope in yours as well! It tastes particularly good with carrots, but also works great with bread, chips, and crackers.
