Hot Spinach Dip

I made two versions because I thought one wouldn't be enough. I was wrong. But not because they weren't delicious! Will and I were just full after the first one but we powered through.

Healthier Spinach Dip
**This feeds only 2-3. 

- 4 cloves garlic
- Bag of spinach
- 1/2 to 2/3 package low fat cream cheese
- 2 tpsb lemon juice
- 1 tpsb salt
- 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
- sprinkle of shredded cheese on top

Preheat oven to 350. Saute garlic (do not brown), add garlic. Just before it is wilted, add cream cheese to desired consistency and melt and mix together. Then off heat, add lemon juice and salt. Fold in parmesan cheese.

Put in small baking dish (baked brie dish or baked apple dish), bake at 350 for 10 minutes, then broil for 2 minutes.


For less healthy, add 1/3 cup cream cheese and 1/4 cup mayo. Add more cheese. MORE CHEESE! Mozzarella will do nicely.
