Pressure Cooker Spinach Artichoke Dip https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/spinach-artichoke-dip-in-the-pressure-cooker/ https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/spinach-artichoke-dip-in-the-pressure-cooker/#comments Fri, 20 Dec 2019 07:10:28 +0000 http://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/?p=1492 A piping hot, creamy, cheesy spinach artichoke dip spiced up with a little garlic and cayenne pepper. A restaurant favorite that's so easy and quick to make from scratch at home in the pressure cooker. 

For Oscar night I decided to make Spinach Artichoke dip to go with the homemade Wheat Thin crackers I'd baked. We were baking pizzas in the oven, so I decided to use my pressure cooker to "bake" the dip instead. I checked it after 5 minutes and it wasn't hot enough, so I set the timer for another 5 minutes and it was perfect. The cheese was piping hot and stingy just as if I'd baked it the oven.
