I love our Spinach Artichoke Dip, and was on the hunt to find a tasty spin on it! I came across this recipe from Half Baked Harvest and ran to the store right then to get all the ingredients I needed to make it!
What is better than your favorite dip slathered over some toasty bread? This recipe is also a lighter version of traditional spinach and artichoke dip by using Greek yogurt and very little cream cheese.
Spinach and Artichoke Sandwich Melts Recipe
We turned our favorite spinach and artichoke dip into a delicious Spinach and Artichoke Sandwich Melt.
Serving
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 Tablespoon flour
- ½ cup milk
- 1 ounce cream cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ cup fat free Plain Greek Yogurt
- 6.7 ounces grilled artichoke hearts, chopped
- ½ cup frozen spinach, thawed, drained, and chopped
- 1 loaf French bread
- ¼ cup butter, for spreading
Equipment
Instructions
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for two minutes. Whisk in flour until a paste forms. Cook over medium-low heat for 1 minute, then pour in milk. Stir and cook one minute. If your paste gets too thick, add a little more milk to thin it out slightly. Add cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan and pepper. Stir until cheeses are melted. Whisk in Greek yogurt until sauce is smooth. Fold in chopped artichokes and spinach.
- Heat a skillet or griddle to medium-low heat. Butter the outsides of each slice of bread then spread 2-3 Tablespoons of the cooked dip on one slice of bread and top with another, with the buttered sides of bread on the outside. Cook sandwich until both sides of the bread are golden brown.

Drool this looks like the perfect midnight snack right about now!
Oh my word – that looks delicious! It’s terrible that I’m seeing this right before bed (while I’m starving! lol). Thanks for linking up! Definitely going to feature this on Wednesday. XOXO
I waited as the cars arrived, as the streetstyle photographers shot the latest season’s shoes and handbags, waited as the crowd grew in case of a celebrity sighting, waited as the guests exited again after the show. birkenstock herren sandalen http://www.wjgnet.com/birkenstock-damen-sandalen.html
I dearly love Spinach/Artichoke Dip – straight up or with diced seafood! I appreciated that you’ve given me another option by lightening it with yogurt. Think about the possibility of making this gluten free by putting it in a lettuce leaf as a roll up. Oh, baby, the possiblities you have opened up for me…. Thanks!
I think I would add diced water chestnuts to this for some extra added crunch.
where would i find the nutritional information at for your recipes?
Amazing! Made these tonight with just a few tweeks. I hate Greek yogurt, so I substituted sour cream. For my vegetarians I added more mozzarella right before toasting. For the carnivores, I added a few strips of fresh bacon. I also used a harder bread, sliced sourdough. It made the sandwhich! Defiantly a recipe I will keep around.
Where do you get your grilled artichoke hearts? Do you grill them yourself?
We can usually find them at Wal Mart. The recipe works fine if the artichokes aren’t grilled.
