Specific artichoke and spinach dip needed.

[hillsdown]

I am looking for a specific secret recipe for a warm artichoke and spinach dip. It is served hot right off the stove in the pan with chips and crusty bread slices.

It is made with fresh sauteed spinach (not frozen) and 4 different cheeses, two are parmesan (reggiano and agiano(sp)) the other one is a yellow orange cheese maybe a cheddar and I think the last is a swiss cheese. I am pretty sure a heavy cream is used in it as well. If anyone knows this one I would really appreciate it if you could share it..

Thank you.

I made this for our little get together with a few friends last night. Good thing I made a double batch as the first pan disappeared fast, the guys loved it. I served it with a sliced baguette that I lightly brushed with a mixture of olive oil with thyme ,sweet oregano and parsley. Then I toasted it in the oven until crisp. The dip was heated on the stove until the cheese had fully melted and then I tossed it in the oven on broil for a few minutes to get a golden brown on top. I also made the sundried tomatoes from scratch, not store bought. YUMMM.. It was a huge hit and definitely will be on the menu again.

BTW you need to chop the fresh spinach first and then pan fry it with a generous stick of butter. Also heat your pan with a good pat of butter before adding the dip mixture to it, then keep folding the dip as it heats.
