Oven Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a small baking dish.
In the baking dish add 2 rounds Boursin cheese, spinach, garlic, artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Gently break up the Boursin and stir to combine.
Bake 18-22 minutes until hot and golden on top. Stir until well combined.
Finish with fresh basil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Season with a pinch of salt if needed.
Slow Cooker Directions
In a small skillet sauté spinach with garlic and a little oil until the spinach is wilted.
Add the spinach mixture, Boursin cheese, artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan, pinch of salt and remaining olive oil (if any)
Cover and cook on low for 1-½ hours or high for 45-60 minutes. Stir half way until smooth and heated through. Switch to warm for serving up to 2 hours.
Just before serving stir in fresh basil, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Cold Directions
In a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté spinach and garlic in olive oil until wilted. About 1-2 minutes. Cool completely.
Let Boursin cheese sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften. In a bowl mix Boursin with cooled spinach, artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan, lemon zest and lemon juice to taste. Fold in basil and add a pinch of salt if needed.
