    Recipe Recap

    You can use pressure cooker like INSTANT POT to make this easy Spinach Dip, It is practically a dump and go recipe. Alternatively, you can bake it in oven as well. Both instructions are included in recipe card.

    This dip is a mix of cream cheese, sour cream, frozen spinach, artichoke hearts, Italian cheese blend, minced garlic and seasoning. Mix in all of the ingredients, pressure cook it or bake it in a skillet ! Done and dusted ... scoop and eat 🙂

    I like to add a tablespoon of chopped Giardiniera. This gives it a nice flavor addition with bits and pieces of pickled jalapeno and carrots. This unusual and unique touch has people guessing about what's in it too. If you don't like spices, skip it.

    SERVING SUGGESTIONS

    • Warm dip is best to serve with toasted bread, such as baguette slices, bread sticks, pita chips or crostini. Pita bread, naan or tortilla chips are also good options.
    • For a healthy dose of fiber and color, serve it with fresh cut veggie like celery sticks, broccoli, carrots and radishes. You can serve it over cooked macaroni for fancy mac and cheese. Yumm
    • Another fancy thing to serve it with is salt crystal dusted soft pretzel bites. I had them at one of the holiday parties and man o man it was finger licking good stuff.

    This dip is truly addictive! It's a super easy and ultra delicious, rich and creamy appetizer. No prep 20 minutes recipe.

    HOW TO MAKE CHEESE SPINACH DIP IN INSTANT POT

    Pour the broth in the main insert of InstantPot. Add minced garlic, cream cheese,  frozen spinach, sour cream and all purpose seasoning in the pot.

    Drain Artichokes and pour into the pot. Close the lid. Select MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK on High Pressure for 4 minutes. Vent should be at SEALING position.

    After Instant Pot does cooking and beeps, wait for few minutes and do a Quick Release by moving the valve to VENTING.

    Stir in Cheese blend. Give it a good stir and your dip is ready.

    Transfer to a serving bowl and serve. You can garnish it with fresh parsley, red chili flakes or ground black pepper.

    The dip will thicken quickly as it cools. So if it feels like there is too much liquid, don't worry. If it absolutely is runny, then put it on SAUTE mode and stir for few minutes.

      This is so good !!! But really cheesy, The recipe says 16 oz Italian blend cheese, I may try less next time so the spinach and artichoke will shine more. Thanks for the addition of the giardiniera, I may add a little more next time.

      I notice that you specify draining the spinach for the oven, but not the Instant Pot. Is there any difference in texture (will it be too watery) if it's not drained for the instant pot?

        It helps avoid getting burn message in Instant Pot. Since there is not much liquid there, it helps to keep it that way. For oven, it doesn't need that excess water. Texture is still creamy either way

      I just realized I’m all out of Trader Joe’s 21 seasoning. Is there a substitute I can use instead? Also, I don’t have vegetable broth, but I do have low sodium chicken broth. Will that be ok to use?

        If you have Larry's all purpose seasoning or any other flavoring mix, it will be fine. You can use chicken broth too

        I didn't have a flavouring mix, I just used a variety of herbs that I had on hand. Tastes great! I used chicken broth.
