Spinach And Artichoke Melts
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic minced or grated
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/2 cup milk I used 2%, but whatever you have will be fine
- 1 ounce cream cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt I used 0%
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach thawed
- 6 11/16 ounces artichoke hearts grilled, or you can sub marinated artichokes, chopped
- 1 chicken breast grilled and sliced thin, optional
- 8 slices sourdough bread thick
- butter for spreading
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for a couple of minutes. Whisk in flour until it makes a paste.
- Cook over medium-low heat for a minute or two, then pour in milk. Stir and cook one minute, if your paste gets too thick splash in more milk.
- Add cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan and pepper. Stir until cheeses are melted. Stir in the greek yogurt until smooth.
- Chop artichokes and spinach and add to the sauce. Stir to combine. Dip will be thick, just use some muscle and stir in those veggies!
- Heat a skillet (or griddle, etc) oven medium-low heat. Butter the outsides of every bread slice, then spread a good amount (any where from 1-3 tablespoons) of the spinach and artichoke dip on the inside (the non-buttered side) of each slice.
- If using, top one slice with the sliced grilled chicken. Top off with another slice of bread, buttered-side up. Cook until each side is golden and crisp and cheese is melted, then gently flip and do the same.Slice and serve.
- You will have leftover spinach and artichoke dip. You can use this again for sandwiches the next day, as a sauce, for paste or as a yummy dip!
