Spinach Artichoke Dip Individual Appetizers
Spinach Artichoke Dip Individual Appetizers are the perfect solution to making sure everybody has a chance at the popular appetizer dip. Think about how many times you’ve been to a party and eyed up that wonderful bowl of spinach artichoke dip. Then noticed that somebody was either hogging it all, or worse, double dipping.
This recipe for Spinach Artichoke Dip Individual Appetizers allows you to take your portion and retreat to your own corner, not having to share with anybody.
I’ve raised two children, so am fully aware that double dipping occurs. I mean, kids are king at that game! However, it bothers me when I’m in a public event and observe this happen at the hands of an adult.
I have friends who would leave rather than remain in such an environment. Their tolerance for germs is extremely low.
I also know some people who will stand next to the buffet table and continue to help themselves to portions of an appetizer until the plate is empty.
The rest of the guests have to detour that section of the buffet table and unfortunately leave with their plates devoid of the desired appetizer.
It struck me that we could avoid all of the trouble by serving individual sized portions of appetizers. Genius, isn’t it? Spinach Artichoke Dip Individual Appetizers are the answer.
I used one cup custard bowls that are oven safe to bake my spinach artichoke individual appetizers. You can usually find these in the kitchen department of any home goods store.
I have some I ordered from Pampered Chef, several I found at the thrift store and a few I picked up at the big box stores. I like the clear glass bowls as they show off the dip.
You could also use one cup cake pans, oven safe soup bowls or coffee mugs. If you don’t have enough small containers that are oven safe, you can bake the dip in two one-quart casserole dishes, then serve it in single serving containers that are simply heat resistant.
Make It a Meal:
Spread this dip on your toasted English Muffin for a delicious breakfast. Add a slice of ham over a layer of cooled dip spread on a tortilla and roll it up, you’ve got lunch!

I remember a party I went to that had people huddled around the chocolate fountain. It was so hard to get I finally gave up. I love your solution – so smart!
I hate thinking people don’t get their favorite snacks! This solution seems to work!
Great idea! I am so not sharing my Spinach Artichoke Dip! It’s my favorite|!
Sharing is nice … but sometimes you just don’t want to share!
Pinning for later because I know I am going to make this. Looks so good.
Jere, Thanks so much! I hope you like it. Please come back and let me know what your family thinks!
Mmmm, I can just imagine how gorgeous this tastes – thanks so much for th recipe
You’re welcome, Jane!
Give it try and let me know if it tastes as great as you hope!
This looks delicious! Love the idea of doing individual portions so the dip looks prettier, too (instead of messy as soon as a couple of people have some).
Oh Liv! I never thought of that benefit! We spend so much time making our food look tempting, and you’re right … the minute somebody slices into it… sigh. LOL
Well, isn’t that funny!! The first thing I thought of when I saw the title and began to read was YAY I can double dip to my hearts content. And then I saw part of your reasoning with you kids and double dipping. Hey! What’s a little double dipping among family, righty? Seriously, your dip sounds and looks exactly the kind of appetizer we love. I’m pinning.
Marisa, among family, double dipping may or may not be a problem … it’s when you invite the public … LOL
I’m glad you liked this recipe!
Oh what a great idea! This could help me with my own portion control issue when it comes to spinach and artichoke dip, too!
Tracey, I hadn’t thought about it as a portion control tool! I know sometimes I start eating on some appetizers and the next thing I know, the entire table is empty.
Spinach and Artichokes are one of my favourite combinations especially for dip. The double dipping thing – I’m so with you on that! Whenever I make dips to serve as a meal, I always make individual portions. That way, I feel like I don’t have to share with anyone. LOL
I don’t have to share … which means I get my full portion, right!?
Spinach and artichoke dip is the best! Definitely want to make this recipe for my upcoming party. Simple ingredients and looks very appetizing. Thanks!
You’ll have a bunch of happy people at your party!
What a great party appetizer to have them individual! Or if you are watching a movie there is no dip to pass because everyone has their own!
Saves having to get up and go to the snack table, that way … no movie interruptions!
I absolutely want my own dip! I love this idea for a party or tailgate. So yummy!
It’s a great way to serve dips … I’ve used it often at parties.
Yes! Kids are the kings of double dipping and I am so super happy that these cups help that issue! No one likes germs lol! Thanks for the suggestions for the cake pans, oven-safe soup bowls or coffee mugs.
The family that germs together is sick together … and nobody wants the whole family to be sick! Keep those germs to yourself!
I’ve always liked having my own dish or bowl!! I mean, you can be as messy as you want and it’s all yours. Great idea!! And the recipe itself sounds delish! I love the combination of spinach and artichokes. We’re having this next week.
It’s a classic dip, for sure. And you know it’s good because families have been eating this dip for decades!
I love dips and spread and I can have them as a meal. Spinach and artichokes sound so delicious. Love that you added mushrooms too.
When it comes to a dip I think spinach and artichoke is so amazing. And i’m so with you on double dipping thing. haha
