      Appealing Appetizers - Jen Selinsky

      Introduction

      What can I say about appetizers that hasn’t already been said before? They are delicious treats that get people in the mood for the main course.

      Even though there is nothing like sitting down to a nice family dinner, the anticipation can make it even more enjoyable. Why not get things started a little early? Enjoy more time with your guests by gathering and talking over delightful, little dishes which will help whet your appetite for dinner.

      The good thing about most appetizers is that they can stand out on their own. They don’t always need to be served with a main course, especially if you’re only in the mood for a light snack.

      Appealing Appetizers is a companion book to Exquisite Entrees and Delightful Desserts. So gather around and start a stimulating conversation over these treats which are sure to please!

      HOT CHEESY SPINACH DIP

      Prep time: 25 minutes

      Bake time: 10-15 minutes

      Yield: 8 servings

      Ingredients

      2 tablespoons butter

      ¼ cup chopped onion

      2 cloves garlic, minced (1 teaspoon)

      1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

      1 ¾ cups half-and-half

      2 packages (9 ounces each) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well-drained

      1 can (8-ounce) sliced water chestnuts, drained

      1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

      1 package (1-ounce) dry vegetable soup mix

      ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

      Directions

      Preheat oven to 425º. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until onion is crisp-tender and garlic is fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Stir in flour; cook and stir an additional minute. Add half-and-half and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in chopped spinach, water chestnuts, cheddar, and vegetable soup mix. Spoon dip into a 1-quart casserole or grain dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake dip until it is bubbly and cheese is melted, 10-15 minutes. Serve warm.

      *Cook’s Note: It is not necessary to grease the casserole dish because of the high fat content of the cheddar.
