8 ounces light cream cheese
14 ounces artichoke hearts, canned, drained, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup cooked spinach
1/4 cup light mayonnaise

1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
salt and pepper, to taste

Allow cream cheese to come to room temperature. Cream together with mayonnaise, Parmesan, Romano cheese, garlic, basil and garlic salt. Mix well. Add the artichoke hearts and spinach (be careful to drain both of these well), and mix until blended. Store in a container until ready to use. Spray quiche pan with Pam, pour in dip and top with cheese. Bake at 350 F. for 25 minutes or until the top is browned.

I made it tonight for a NYE party and it's yummy. I added a bit of crushed red pepper and took out all the salts (figured the cheese had enough). I also added a bit of feta leftover from the stuffed mushroom recipe Delish and no one will know it's SBD friendly!

This is still the yummiest thing ever. I add some sundried tomatoes to it and also use it as "stuffing" for mushrooms!
