Ingredients

2 (10-ounce) packages fresh spinach, well rinsed and stems trimmed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup chopped yellow onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 cup 1/2-inch cubes rindless Brie
1 cup grated Monterey Jack
1 (6 1/2-ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
4 strips bacon, fried crisp, drained and chopped
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Assorted chips for dipping (pita chips, tortilla chips, bagel chips)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch round chafing dish and set aside.

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the spinach in batches and cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and refresh under cold running water. Squeeze to remove all excess water and chop. Set aside. In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, and cayenne, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, to make a light roux, about 2 minutes. Add the milk and cream in a steady stream, and cook, stirring constantly, until thick and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cooked spinach and lemon juice, and stir to incorporate. Add the cubed and grated cheeses, artichoke hearts, and bacon, and stir well. Remove from the heat and pour into the prepared dish. Top with the Parmesan and bake until bubbly, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve hot with chips.

So many compliments!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for a baby shower last weekend and everyone loved it -- should have made a double recipe to have leftovers! I did... make a few changes, just based on what I had on hand: I also used frozen spinach and only used about 2/3 of the 10 oz package. I didn't have any cayenne, I used 1/2 and 1/2 instead of milk and cream, and I used swiss and mozzarella cheese instead of brie and monterey jack. I really think you could use ANY good cheese that you happen to have on hand ... brie, gruyere, even feta. I will keep this recipe forever!Read more

delish!

Really good! I made this last night for a family birthday party and everyone loved it. The bacon makes it over the top! I... have to admit - it takes longer to make than the time given - and I'm a really organized cook! Also, make sure you have a shallow baking dish or it takes a long time in the oven.Read more

I've wanted to make my own Spinach and Artichoke Dip forever......and Emeril, you made it happen....thanks Food... Network......My company loved it and we did too.....I used frozen chopped spinach instead, along with an extra sprinkle of Cayenne pepper and garlic powder besides using fresh garlic. I also mixed in a little parmesan cheese in the dip besides putting it on top. Great flavor...awesome dip Read more

Made this today for company and everyone loved it. I halved the receipe (perfect for 4 people) and used a 10 oz. box of... frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) and added a litle more cayenne. Served with homemade pita chips. Will definately make again.Read more
