By Margi Kyle, Managing Editor – LKNConnect.com

Ingredients

Or fresh Garlic and Ginger but I always have these on hand. Harris Teeter in the freezer section.

Serves 6

Very easy and always have items on hand

I can Artichoke bottoms

1 Box frozen chopped Spinach

Garlic and Ginger frozen or fresh

Dried or frozen onions- I love the frozen chopped onions when I can get them in the freezer or fresh department.

Salt and pepper to taste- I use Krazy Jane Mixed up salt and Krazy Jane Mixed up pepper. Our whatever you usually use.

1 large cream cheese or sour cream= about 1 large cup. If I don’t have cream cheese and use sour cream, I put in more cheese to make it firmer.

1 cup shredded parmesan and Mozzarella cheese blend. Or any cheese blend.

1 egg.

I always have these on hand! Black Garlic Salt you can get at Savory Spice in Birkdale. Love it!

Instructions

Open and drain the can of Artichoke Bottoms. Open and defrost the Spinach. Drain the spinach well to get all the water out of it. Mix in the egg, cream cheese, or sour cream. Onions, salt and pepper, along with garlic and ginger. Add most of the cheese and save a bit to put on the tops at the end. Get a scoop or spoon and put the mixture on top of the artichoke Bottoms. Place in the over at 375 until the cheese is melted and bubbling- about 15 minutes. Sprinkle the extra cheese on top. A great side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!

Enjoy!

They freeze well and I always keep them on hand.
