Spinach and Roasted Tomato Dip

This Spinach and Roasted Tomato Dip gives me nostalgia from my childhood. It felt like whenever my mom said we were 'cleaning out the fridge', spinach dip was made (I'm sure she'd attest that now). However, its such a simple, cozy dish that is a perfect appetizer -  football Saturdays, potlucks, or just around your kitchen table, surely to be loved by all.

ingredients for this spinach and roasted tomato dip

Parmesan cheese: Parmesan caramelizes perfectly when baked in this recipe.

Feta cheese: Feta has a bit of a stronger flavor than parmesan and adds a softer texture.

Plain greek yogurt: Gives some tang and is also perfectly creamy. I used 2% low fat.

Fresh chopped spinach: I tested this with frozen spinach, however I do not recommend as it comes out too liquidy.

Cherry tomatoes: When baked, the acidity in the tomatoes is just enough.

Italian seasoning: To round out all of the flavors.

your spinach dip questions answered:

Can I store this dip as leftovers? Absolutely! You can put in an air-tight container or leave it in its baking dish and cover with plastic wrap or foil and keep in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, or you can also enjoy it cold!

Do I have to use the cheeses you mention? Of course not! Use your favorites. You might find that creamy mozzarella or a goat cheese is your thing. Experiment with it!

What should I serve this dip with? Crackers, chips, fresh veggies, or crusty bread are just a few possible dipping vessels. If you want to use bread here's my favorite way to make it nice and crispy: Cut up slices of fresh bread, toss with some olive oil, Italian seasoning / salt + pepper, and broil at 525F for 5 minutes or until bread is golden brown.

Does this dish have to be an appetizer? Although having spinach dip as an appetizer is the most common way to serve it, that's just the beginning. I love slathering some on some crusty bread when building a sandwich or topping roasted chicken with it as a dreamy dinner main.
