Artichoke and Spinach Appetizer

First I roll out pie crust

cut 2 1/2 inch circles

place them in a lightly greased mini cupcake pan

and press them into place with my Pampered Chef mini tart maker

I love that tool, $4.00 and saves so much time and frustration when making all types of mini treats.

filled with a small scoop of artichoke and spinach dip

for the spinach and artichoke dip when I plan ahead I make it with this recipe

2 cans artichokes in water (drained and chopped)

1 package cream cheese

1 cup mayo or plain yogurt

2 cloves garlic minced

1 cup grated Romano cheese (or Parmesan)

(1 small can diced jalapeños/green chiles if desired)

1/2 package frozen spinach thawed and drained

or a large bunch of fresh spinach chopped

mix all ingredients well

If I aware I will not have time to make it I have purchased it at Costco,

it has the jalapeños and gives it that extra touch of spice. I just add the spinach.

once the filling is added into each mini cup area

bake at 350 for 10 minutes

A nice bite sized warm and delicious appetizer!
