Spinach, Gruyère and Artichoke Dip
A bit of a twist on the standard spinach artichoke dip, for the more
grown-up palate . The combination of Gruyère and Parmesan gives the
dip a pleasant nuttiness . No special pan required – we found that using
a pie plate was the best and quickest way to warm this dish .
