A hot cheese dip surrounded by toasted bread for dipping is an irresistible appetizer. It's perfect for a house party, a game-watching dinner, or just as a snack to treat your family. A thick, gooey cheese sauce made from a blend of Muenster and Gruyere cheeses is complemented by juicy spinach and aromatic fried mushrooms. When blending the dip, it's important not to overmix the ingredients. You want to be able to feel the chunks. Sprinkle the dip with cheese and bake until heated through and coated with a cheesy crust. Serve immediately.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Place the spinach in a large microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and prick the wrap several times to allow steam to escape. Microwave until the spinach begins to wilt, about 4 minutes. Remove the wrap and stir, then microwave for another 2 minutes, or until the greens are completely wilted.
  2. Transfer to a colander and rinse under cold water; squeeze out the water and set the spinach aside.

  3. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, poblano garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.
  4. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic and flour, and stir until incorporated, about 2 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the sour cream and simmer, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in almost all of the Gruyere, setting aside a few spoonfuls, then add the Muenster and cilantro.
  6. Transfer the sauce to a food processor and add the spinach; pulse to chop the greens.
  7. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  8. Spoon the sauce into a 1-quart baking dish and top with the remaining Gruyere. Place in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, about 6 minutes. Serve with bread.
