Preheat oven to 350° F. In a bowl, combine artichoke hearts, spinach, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, 1¾ cups Monterey Jack cheese, stirring until combined well. Transfer artichoke mixture to a 1-quart baking dish and sprinkle with remaining ½ cup Monterey Jack cheese. (Note: Dip may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.) Bake dip in middle of oven until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Serve dip warm with crackers or tortilla chips. Yield: about 3 cups. |
