directions
- Combine and chop together in food processor spinach, cream cheese, half-and-half and cheese.
- Sauté together in oil the onion/scallions and peppers for a few minutes, just until softened.
- Fold onion/peppers into cheese/spinach mixture.
- Halve crosswise, squeeze out seeds and cut tomatoes into ½” cubes.
- Fold tomatoes into mixture; if mixture seems too thick, fold in up to ½ cup more half-and-half.
- Oil or butter a casserole dish and pour in dip.
- Loosely lay a piece of foil over the top – do NOT seal – you can remove this to let the edges brown a bit, but place it back on if things start to get too crispy.
- Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until mixture is bubbly hot.
- The dip will be looser when hot but will set up thicker as it cools.
