TGIFridays spinach dip clone

tonight i got a hankerin' for TGIFriday's tuscan spinach dip. love, love, love the stuff. the frozen from the store stuff is OK, but it's a bit on the greasy side and tooooooo many bad preservatives, so i finally decided to make my own. couldn't get TGIFriday's to give me their recipe...lol, so i searched around the net and found a couple of recipes, did a bit of juggling and came up with a hit!

this stuff was fabulous!!!!!

• 10 oz frozen spinach thawed, squeezed, drained
• 9 oz artichoke hearts chopped, squeezed, drained (i used canned)
• 1/2 cup Romano cheese (i used the Kraft brand 3 cheese Parmesan sprinkle stuff)
• 4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 oz (1/2 brick) cream cheese softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 egg
• 3 cloves fresh garlic minced
• 1 medium yellow onion chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for skillet)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

1. preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. in skillet, saute onions and garlic until nearly brown and transparent.
3. in a bowl, mix together egg & oil until well emulsified.
4. add cream cheese and sour cream and mix well.
5. fold in remaining ingredients, including sauteed veggies.
6. spread in 2-3 quart casserole dish and bake for 25 minutes.
7. serve with pita, tortilla chips or crackers.
