Storage Information

This spinach artichoke dip is best enjoyed fresh but here is the information you’ll need for making ahead, storing, etc.:

• Make Ahead: You can prepare this dip a day in advance. Store in the fridge, then reheat in the crockpot or microwave.
• Leftovers: Store leftover dip an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store the crostini in a ziploc bag or container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• Freezing: Not recommended, as the texture may change upon thawing.
• Reheat: To reheat, place in microwave on low heat and stir every 15 seconds or so until heated through.

Variations to Try

• Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for some heat.
• Stir in cooked, crumbled bacon or diced chicken for a heartier spinach artichoke dip.
• Add chopped bell peppers or sun-dried tomatoes for a flavor twist.

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

Yes! Just chop it finely and sauté briefly to remove excess moisture before adding to the crockpot.

Can I make this in the oven?

Absolutely. Combine everything in an oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F until hot and bubbly. The advantage of making the spinach artichoke dip in the slow cooker is that it can be kept warm for serving.

How do I reheat leftovers?

This dip can be reheated in the microwave, stirring occasionally, or warmed in the oven at 350°F until heated through.

What else can I serve this dip with besides the crostini?

We love tortilla chips, toasted baguette slices or even veggies like celery sticks!

What size crockpot should I use?

A 2.5 quart crockpot to a 4 quart crockpot will work for this recipe. I love this one for dips!

Trish’s Tips

• Make sure to thoroughly drain the spinach and artichokes to avoid a watery dip.
• Remember to stir the dip occasionally to help prevent it from burning on the bottom or sides.
• The recipe can easily be halved and cooked in a two-quart crockpot.
• Keep an eye on the crostini as they can begin browning quite quickly. I like to start checking about halfway through. This depends almost entirely on how thin you cut the bread. You want the texture to be crisp but not hard. 
• To thin the dip, you can add a teaspoon or two of milk or water and stir to combine.
