Serves 2

Prep Time

10 min

Cook Time

15 min

INGREDIENTS

1. 1/2 cup of cottage cheese
2. 1 cup of baby spinach
3. 1/2 cup canned or bottled artichoke hearts, finely diced
4. 1/4 tsp minced garlic
5. 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
6. Salt and pepper to taste
7. 1 Whole Wheat Pita

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit
2. In a saucepan over medium heat cook your cottage cheese for 1 minute. Add minced garlic and mix around. Cook until cottage cheese starts to bubble.
3. Add spinach and artichoke to the cottage cheese and cook until spinach is wilted. 1-3 more minutes. Add half the cheese and mix just until it begins to melt.
4. Add salt and pepper.
5. Transfer cottage cheese mixture to a food processor and pulse a few times. Do not over-pulse or you will end up with too much liquid. You want the cottage cheese to still be a bit lumpy.
6. Transfer to a small ramekin and pour remainder of cheese on top. Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and starts to bubble.
7. Serve hot with veggies or home-made pita chips (Cut a pita into traingles and place on a baking tray. Spray with cooking spray. Bake them in the oven while your dip is baking)!
