Instructions: In a 2- to 3-quart pan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add chopped onion and minced garlic and stir often until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add flour and stir to coat onion. Add bay leaf. Gradually whisk in milk and broth, and stir until mixture boils, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove bay leaf.

Squeeze liquid from spinach. Stir spinach, artichoke hearts, and green onions into white sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This recipe yields about 12 appetizer servings.

Comments: If making up to 1 day ahead, cover and chill. Bring to room temperature or reheat, covered, in a microwave oven on full power (100%), stirring occasionally, until warm, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve dip with toasted baguette slices.
