Description

A creamy and cheesy spinach artichoke dip that's perfect for parties and gatherings, baked to melty perfection and served warm with chips or bread.


Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz. cream cheese, well softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp minced garlic (1 clove)
  • 2/3 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese (76g)
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese (56g)
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 (14 oz) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 6 oz. frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed to drain excess liquid


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray a small 1 quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Creamy Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly blended.
  3. Add Veggies: Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and drained spinach thoroughly into the creamy mixture.
  4. Bake Dip: Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the dip is heated through and melty.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from oven and serve the dip warm alongside tortilla chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices for dipping.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the spinach and artichokes to avoid a watery dip.
  • For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce.
  • Use full-fat dairy for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
  • This dip can be prepared a day ahead, just cover and refrigerate before baking.
  • Serve with a variety of dippers like pita chips, fresh veggies, or breadsticks.
