Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3-4 cups fresh spinach, loosely packed
- 1 cup artichoke hearts, chopped
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened, cubed
- ½ cup grated parmesan, divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 8 ounces crab meat, chopped or shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ (176℃). Then, warm butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until it begins to wilt, for 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the spinach to a large bowl and stir in the artichoke hearts, cream cheese, ¼ cup parmesan, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and crab meat.
- Prepare a baking dish and spoon the mixture into the baking dish. Bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes.

Expert Tips:
- If you use fresh lump crab meat, pick through the meat to remove any shells and cartilage.
- Bake the dip until heated through and slightly browned on top.
- Make ahead by preparing and refrigerating the dup. Just allow it to come to room temperature before baking it again to serve.
