Spinach Artichoke Jalapeno Dip

Mix cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until well blended. I use either an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer for this.

In a blender, pulse-blend spinach, artichoke hearts, and toasted garlic. Do not blend too fine. Add to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.

Fold jalapeno peppers, lemon juice, and Parmesan into the above mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Chill for several hours to blend flavors. Serve with vegetables, crackers, or a variety of breads torn or cut into bite-sized chunks.

To toast garlic: Chop the garlic. Over medium heat, cook garlic in a little olive oil, stirring frequently. Cook until lightly golden. Do not overcook because the garlic will be bitter.
