I made this with 12 oz. of frozen spinach, no artichokes, 8 oz of cream cheese, added a little more garlic (love the stuff), and it was delish!! Made it early, refrigerated it, and stuck it in the oven for an appetizer with dinner. Leftovers went in a freezer bag to be pulled out for a snack another time. So easy and good!!
Great! Now I’m craving this dip and have to make it again!
It says to transfer to oven but no directions on the temperature…
It is 350 F, sorry about that!
Can this be prepared and frozen instead of being thrown in the oven right away? Or does it need to be baked before being thrown in the freezer?
Hi Julia,
Yes you can freeze it. Bake from frozen or thaw. Allow extra baking time if frozen.
