Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained)
  • 1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)

Dairy & Condiments

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Seasonings

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking the dip evenly and achieving a bubbly golden top.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy. Then, add the thawed and drained spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir everything thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
  3. Bake: Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and has a lightly golden top.
  4. Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with your choice of chips, crusty bread, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • Make sure to thoroughly drain the spinach and artichokes to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
  • For an extra kick, add more red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • This dip can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
  • Use fresh garlic for more robust flavor or substitute with garlic powder if preferred.
