CREAMY PARMESAN BROCCOLI DIP


This is a Weight Watchers dip that I made for Super Bowl Sunday (Yay Chiefs!)  Lauren requested that I blog it because it was very tasty, and she is my finicky eater in the family!  I agree with her that it is very enjoyable, especially if you are trying to eat healthier.  It is a baked, rather thick dip so you will need a sturdy cracker or chip when you eat it.  A stiff vegetable will also work.

4 c. uncooked, finely chopped broccoli
½ c. + 2 TB shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
2 oz. low fat cream cheese, softened
¼ c light mayo (I prefer Hellman’s)
¼ c. grated Parmesan cheese
¼ c. finely minced onion
2 medium garlic cloves, finely minced
½ t. salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste


Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Coat a 1 qt casserole dish with cooking spray.

Combine all ingredients except 2 TB mozzarella cheese in a large bowl.  Spoon mixture into prepared dish and smooth into an even layer.  Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella.  Bake until top is lightly browned and dip is bubbly, about 20-25 minutes.  Serve warm. (Serving size ¼ cup if you are watching your weight; otherwise, just enjoy it!)
