Although I added two ingredients which I adore with onion and therefore add whenever I can - garlic and leeks - I knew I would be in a spinach lover's heaven with this recipe! And this was just so superbly delicious! :) I minced the onion and garlic and sliced the leek thinly and sauteed them with the artichoke hearts. I made the dish up to the end of step four, minus the cream cheese, then left it in the fridge overnight. It was just so easy to add the cream cheese (I used low-fat), complete this and get it in the oven on the following evening. The Swiss cheese and the paprika were the perfect complement to the other ingredients. We were SO pleased there were leftovers. I'll be making this often, BakinBaby: thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders.

I cut this recipe in half BUT used the entire amount of artichoke hearts. This was quick and easy and very good. Made for November's Whine and Cheese Tag.
