YUM!! I could make a meal of this. Can I just throw in a cup of rice next time and call it dinner? This was my first attempt at a Vegan version of my old favorite. As someone who's tried many regular recipes for spinach and artichoke dip, and someone who has eaten many many many versions in my life (both great and incredibly bad) I was not expecting this to be so good! I made just a couple minor subs. I only had shallots, so I used 2 of those for the onion. And I used 1/2 veg cream cheese, and 1/2 veg sour cream. Needed some salt and pepper, and used matzo meal for the panko (was the only bread crumb - esk thing I had) THANK YOU KOSMIC!!

Delicious!! The addition of the white beans is creamy, amazing, and genius!! I added a lil tamari and 1 tbls of mayo (blended with the beans and vegan cream cheese) and more nooch (nutritional yeast) bc it was the last of the container. I did not use the vegan cheese bc I didn't have it. After the 20 minutes baked with foil, I topped it with panko mixed with melted organic earth balance, baked uncovered for 15 minutes. So good!!
