Steps (8)
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Step 2Over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil in a sauce pot. Add onions, season with salt and sauté for 3–4 minutes or until soft and pale golden. Sprinkle in the flour and stir until a dry paste forms.
-
Step 3Slowly whisk in milk, trying to avoid lumps. Stir in the Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dip Mix and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes or until thickened slightly.
-
Step 4Stir in the cream cheese and half of the Swiss cheese until melted. Add the spinach and remove from heat.
-
Step 5Divide mixture between two small oven-safe baking dishes. (This can be prepared a few days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.)
-
Step 6Place the baking dishes on a rimmed sheet pan and top with the remaining Swiss cheese. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly on top.
-
Step 7Meanwhile, bake the wedges of pita for 10–15 minutes or until crispy.

Step 8Serve warm dip with pita chips and crudité.
