Ah, ha. I’ve got a doozy for you today.
Spinach and Artichokes Melts! Yes!
So you know your favorite party dip, spinach and artichoke? Yeah, I totally slathered that ALL over some bread and grilled it up grilled cheese style. It’s pretty much the best thing your face is gonna meet today. I mean it’s Monday, let’s be honest we don’t encounter a whole lot of amazingness on a Monday. No offense to your boss, husband, your kids or that boring turkey sandwich you would have eaten.
Have you guys ever been to a Claddagh Irish Pub? They have a few in Ohio, Pennsylvania and I think a few other states in the Midwest. I have only been there a handful of times when I was younger, but I always got the same thing, the Chicken Spinach Melt.
My grandma and I would go shopping on the weekends a lot, we like to shop and she loves to go out to lunch. So we’d shop, work up quite the appetite, and have some lunch. I know pretty fun right? Sounds like a good Saturday to me!
I have no idea what was in that melt other than spinach, artichokes and chicken. Honestly I can not even believe I remember what it tasted like it was so long ago, but I created a pretty good copy cat.
Basically the spread is a lightened up version of spinach and artichoke dip. Seriously, I could eat this stuff with a spoon it’s so good (good thing the recipe makes extra dip, you know for the “taste test”). Slather it on some sourdough bread and grill in a pan so it gets all oozy, gooey, crispy and delicious! Yeah, I know. Whoa!
Trust me this is gonna brighten your Monday right up. Oh and hey, isn’t that big sporting event thingy this Sunday? Oh yeah the Super Bowl. Yeah, this is pretty much perfect for that.

I just wanted to drop a note and invite you to come join us at Sunday’s Simple Homemaker Link-Up. Would really love to have you link-up! http://www.prairiegalcookin.com/sundays-simple-homemaker-1st-weekly-link-up
Wow! I’ve recently discovered your blog, and I’m totally loving these recipes! I’m so disappointed I have to wait till next grocery day to grab the ingredients, this looks so amazing!
All I have is a large jar of artichoke hearts. About how many cups of chopped artichokes would I use? I was thinking maybe 1/2 cup…or 1 cup?
Hey Pam,
I would go with 1 cup. Hope you love this!
Thanks so much for your reply to my previous question. I have a couple more…can this be frozen and have you ever done that? I LOVE this recipe!
Hi Pam! I have never froze these and honestly, I cannot say for sure how the texture would turn out. I think it is worth a try though. Let me know how it goes!
I am hosting a party this weekend and wanted to make spinach artichoke cups in filo dough, would I be able to fill them with this dip and bake in the oven?
Yes, that will be AMAZING!! Have a fun party!
It Is lent aMd I think this wI’ll be FridaY’s lunch
Looks yummy! Can hardly wait to try it!
Thanks!
I just love this recipe, it’s so yummy and easy. Do you think you could freeze the leftovers to make more sandwiches at a later date?
Hmm…I am not sure. I do think you could do it, but I think the sandwiches may be a little less crisp that is all. Let me know how it goes and I am so glad you love these!! 🙂
Could I possibly feature this in a student newspaper? We would give you credit and your website.
Hi Hannah!!
I am so happy you like the recipe, but would you need the whole recipe or just a photo?
I made this tonight and it was awesome…whole family loved it, and I have pretty picky eaters in my family. Definitely going to make again!!
Yes! So happy you guys love these!!
I made these tonight and they were delicious!! I didn’t change a thing. 🙂 Thank you so much for an AMAZING recipe!!!
YES!! So happy you love these! Thanks Jill!
Made these for dinner tonight. One word: amazing!
Very easy to make! I actually used plain yogurt instead of the Greek (only kind I had on hand) and they turned out amazing. I advise using the red pepper-gives it a nice kick. I’ll definitely be making this again.
YA!! SO happy you loved these. I need to make them again!
This looks so yummy! How many sandwiches does this recipe make?
Thank you so much Kristi!! It should make four sandwiches.
I just made this to pack away and use at a later date. I mopped up the extra that was in the pan with the heel of untoasted bread and it was super yummy! I was a little worried about the 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes but it added a really good heat! Thanks for posting this recipe 🙂
Yay! Thanks Deana! I am so glad you like these. Thanks for letting me know and giving the recipe a try!
My friends just made these for me for my birthday lunch and we all agreed,as we took a bite, all you could hear was , yummmmm
Oh Yes!! Happy birthday and I am so glad you guys loved these! Thanks so letting me know!
This was OUTSTANDING.
I doubled the recipe but only used 5 ounces of the greek yoghurt, I realized after the fact that I only bought the small container.
Yes, I am so glad to hear you loved this!! Thanks for letting me know!
