Brush a 1-quart soufflé dish lightly with olive oil or coat with cooking spray. Cut a
piece of aluminum foil about 24 inches long. Fold in half lengthwise, then fold in
half again two more times to create a strip about 24 inches in length and 2 inches
wide to make a “cradle”; reserve.
Place the spinach in a clean, dark kitchen towel and squeeze until all liquid is
removed; reserve. Place the artichoke quarters in a towel and squeeze gently to
remove excess liquid (do not squeeze too hard); reserve. Combine Gruyère and
Parmesan cheeses; reserve.
Place the cream cheese and evaporated milk in a large bowl. Using a hand-held
mixer on medium speed, beat until creamy and smooth. Crumble the dried spinach
over the cream cheese. Add the reserved Gruyère, chopped garlic and onion, and
two-thirds of the Parmesan; stir on low speed. Add the reserved artichoke hearts
and hot sauce; stir on low speed to blend.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Set
the dish in the center of the long strip of folded foil and bring up the sides to meet
– twist together to form a handle. Place the cooking rack in the Cuisinart
®
Slow
Cooker. Place the filled soufflé dish on the rack using the foil cradle to help lift the
dish, and carefully lower the dish into the pot and place on the rack. Cover. Cook
on High for 2 to 3 hours, until puffed and bubbly. Remove the soufflé dish from the
slow cooker using the foil strips to lift it. Serve hot with crackers or sliced French
bread.
