Asiago Brussels Sprouts & Kale Dip {Super Creamy}

3/14/22

Jump to Recipe Pin Recipe

This Asiago Brussels Sprouts & Kale Dip is a fall version of spinach dip and is super creamy with asiago, parmesan and cream cheese!

Cheesy Asiago Brussels Sprouts & Kale Dip

Ingredients and substitutions

  • Brussels sprouts – use fresh or frozen brussels sprouts or try substituting for artichoke hearts.
  • Kale – spinach would also be good in this recipe for more of a traditional spinach dip flavour.
  • Cream cheese – feel free to use light cream cheese to cut down on calories.
  • Asiago cheese – Pecorino Romano has a similar flavour or you can double up on the parmesan.
  • Parmesan cheese – use more asiago cheese instead.
  • Garlic powder – fresh garlic would also work.
  • Hot chili flakes – leave these out if you don’t like spice.
  • Turkey bacon – you can use regular bacon but it will increase the calorie count.
  • Red onion – white or yellow onion will also work.
  • Salt & pepper – to taste.

Cheesy Asiago Brussels Sprouts & Kale Dip

Frequently Asked Questions

What is asiago?

Like some of the best cheeses, asiago comes from Italy. It’s a cow’s milk cheese with a medium texture and has a mild and sweet but slightly tangy flavour. It has a similar taste to parmesan but is produced differently.

Are brussels sprouts good for you?

Yes! Brussels sprouts are super healthy. They’re high in fibre, vitamin C, folate and antioxidants – so while this dish is certainly an indulgent treat, there are some greens in it! 😉

What are the benefits of eating kale?

Kale is considered a superfood because it’s so packed with nutrients. It’s packed with vitamin C, manganese, calcium, potassium and magnesium and can help lower your cholesterol and boost your digestive health.

Storing and reheating

You'll want to serve the dip immediately with some accompaniments. The dip will last in the fridge for up to a week and reheats well in the microwave. If you're looking to reheat it, microwave for 3-4 minutes, stirring halfway through and then serve it with fresh sides.

Freezing components of this recipe

Unfortunately, this dip can't be frozen, although I wish it could be! You can freeze any leftover kale, brussels sprouts and turkey bacon to use for later, though. Store all the ingredients individually in airtight glass containers or freezer-safe Ziploc bags for up to 3 months.

Notes

Feel free to swap out the brussels sprouts for artichoke hearts and the kale for spinach.
You can use light cream cheese to cut down on calories.
Grate a block of fresh parmesan instead of using the pre-shredded stuff to get the best flavour.
Serve with artisan toast crisps, warm pita, crackers, veggies or tortilla chips.
Store any leftover dip in the fridge for up to a week, then heat up in the microwave for 3-4 minutes.

    Hi! I made this for a dinner party I hosted last night for a few friends. The dip was a huge hit!!! I just used parmesan and cream cheese but it was sooooo good! I made crostini to go with it. Oddly, I think the biggest fan was the two year old. She loved it. I woke up this morning to a text from my friend thanking me for the party and asking for the recipe. Anyway, I basically made this the day before and microwaved it before the party. Thanks for such a delicious, easy recipe that I could prep in advance! This is definitely something I’ll make again!

    This sounds delicious! I actually made it through my entire childhood without once being served Brussels sprouts, so the first time I had them as an adult they were roasted with pancetta and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. I was hooked! This sounds like an excellent option too, though, so I’ll have to give it a try.

    I’ve also been coveting Vitamix blenders for ages, so I’ll keep my eye out for your giveaway on Thursday!

      Thank you Caralin!! I can’t believe you never had brussels sprouts as a kid! Honestly, I was more off-put by green beans (and surprisingly still don’t care for them as an adult but they are growing on me). And okay, I gotta try your version of brussels sprouts. That seriously sounds delicious!

    Oh daaaang this looks good! I love Brussels sprouts as is, but add 3 types of cheese into the mix and I’m in heaven.
