Steps
Follow these step-by-step instructions to create your own Ruth’s Chris Spinach Rockefeller Dip:
Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients
Start by washing the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly and removing any tough stems. Chop the spinach finely and set it aside. Dice the bacon into small pieces, mince the garlic, and grate the parmesan cheese.
Step 2: Cooking the Bacon
In a skillet, cook the diced bacon until it turns crispy and releases its flavorful oils. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
Step 3: Sautéing the Garlic and Spinach
In the same skillet with the bacon drippings, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the chopped spinach. Cook the spinach until it wilts and releases its moisture.
Step 4: Creating the Creamy Base
Add cream cheese, heavy cream, and grated parmesan cheese to the skillet with the cooked spinach. Stir the mixture until the cheeses melt and blend with the spinach, creating a creamy and rich base.
Step 5: Final Assembly
Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and mix it into the creamy spinach mixture. Season the dip with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Allow the flavors to meld together over low heat.
Step 6: Serving the Dip
Transfer the Spinach Rockefeller Dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve the dip hot with sliced baguette, crackers, or cherry tomatoes for a delightful appetizer experience.
