00:00:00.090 --> 00:00:03.090
- Spinach artichoke dip is a surefire win

2
00:00:03.090 --> 00:00:04.590
for any gatherings,

3
00:00:04.590 --> 00:00:07.260
but so is doing as
little work as possible.

4
00:00:07.260 --> 00:00:08.820
So here's a spinach artichoke dip

5
00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:10.350
that's only three ingredients,

6
00:00:10.350 --> 00:00:11.970
and you do it on the microwave.

7
00:00:11.970 --> 00:00:14.370
You've probably guessed
the first two ingredients,

8
00:00:14.370 --> 00:00:17.040
but the third ingredient is
kind of the most important.

9
00:00:17.040 --> 00:00:18.690
It's what makes it creamy.

10
00:00:18.690 --> 00:00:20.700
What makes it cheesy, salty.

11
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:22.590
It's what makes the dip dip.

12
00:00:22.590 --> 00:00:25.050
Usually, this comes in
the form of sour cream,

13
00:00:25.050 --> 00:00:28.110
cream cheese, maybe
mayo, blah, blah, blah.

14
00:00:28.110 --> 00:00:29.580
I don't know, I'm exhausted already.

15
00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:33.990
Instead of doing all that,
crack open a box of Boursin.

16
00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:35.850
This cheese is already seasoned.

17
00:00:35.850 --> 00:00:40.050
It's already herby and salty,
and it melts when warmed up.

18
00:00:40.050 --> 00:00:43.680
To start, put three ounces of
frozen spinach into a bowl.

19
00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:46.320
Thaw this in the microwave
for about 45 seconds.

20
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:48.600
Your spinach is thawed obviously

21
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:50.340
when there are no more ice crystals,

22
00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:52.710
leave that spinach water in the bowl.

23
00:00:52.710 --> 00:00:54.540
It's gonna help loosen up the cheese

24
00:00:54.540 --> 00:00:56.040
and it's gonna make the dip even better.

25
00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:57.690
Once your spinach is thawed,

26
00:00:57.690 --> 00:00:59.940
to the bowl, add about a half a cup,

27
00:00:59.940 --> 00:01:02.430
a third a cup of chopped artichoke hearts,

28
00:01:02.430 --> 00:01:03.483
and add the Boursin.

29
00:01:05.160 --> 00:01:07.410
Pop this in the microwave
for about 30 seconds.

30
00:01:07.410 --> 00:01:09.060
Stir.

31
00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:11.970
See how the Boursin is so
perfectly creamy in here.

32
00:01:11.970 --> 00:01:15.390
Mix this until it's
fully combined and hot.

33
00:01:15.390 --> 00:01:19.110
Serve this with sliced
bread, maybe some pita chips.

34
00:01:19.110 --> 00:01:21.450
Anything you normally have
dip with, it's gonna be great.

35
00:01:21.450 --> 00:01:23.940
Reviving your dip is also really easy.

36
00:01:23.940 --> 00:01:27.150
Just toss it in the microwave
for another 20 seconds.

37
00:01:27.150 --> 00:01:27.983
Thanks for watching.
