Game Day Munchies No. 1

We have a week and two days to prepare all the munchies for the Big Game. I'm planning a knockout pierogi that only a Steelers fan could love; more to come on that next week. Today I'm happy to host a recipe submitted by a good friend and fellow cheese lover. Check out the number of different cheeses in this warm, gooey, cheesey - yet healthy (spinach? instant healthy points!) - dip. You bet I'll be making this as soon as possible.

Phateline's Spinach and Artichoke Dip

This is an approximation of what I did, you could probably use a handheld mixer too with the regular fittings, just make sure there ain't giant chokable pieces of spinach in there, cuz that ain't appetizing.

Dip:
½ bag frozen spinach thawed and drained well
1 regular can artichoke hearts drained with a teaspoon of juices reserved for mixture
¾ cup mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons of finely grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup soft crumbled blue cheese
1 package of cream cheese softened
2 heaping tablespoons of regular mayonnaise
1 teaspoon of dried Italian Herb Mixture (just plain herb mixture, don't use a salt/garlic etc mix)
2 cloves of fresh roasted garlic
½ teaspoon of cayenne or a your favorite hot sauce
½ teaspoon sea/kosher salt (don't use that throwaway Iodized !#$!)
½ teaspoon black pepper
teaspoon of fresh lime juice

for topping:

handful of pine nuts
1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese
¼ cup shredded mozzarella

Mix dip ingredients together with all purpose fitting of mixer; the garlic spinach and artichoke hearts should break up. Mix on Low for about 2-3 minutes until well blended. Mix for 30 seconds on high to further break up until smooth. Spread in a shallow ceramic baking dish (I used about a 6" by 8" by 3" deep) and top with toppings. Bake at400 degrees for 30 minutes. Serve warm with crusty bread. Probably serves about six generously, although 3 of us pretty much ate it all.
