Ingredients
Main Ingredients
1 cup frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
1 cup canned artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
1 cup cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic (minced)
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the dip evenly.
Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the thawed and drained spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer to baking dish: Spoon the mixture into a baking dish and spread it out evenly to ensure uniform cooking and a consistent golden top.
Bake the dip: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes until the dip is bubbly and has a golden-brown top.
Serve warm: Remove the dip from the oven and serve immediately while warm, paired with tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
Make sure to thoroughly drain the spinach and artichoke to avoid excess moisture in the dip.
For an extra cheesy top, sprinkle additional mozzarella and Parmesan cheese before baking.
You can prepare the dip in advance and refrigerate it before baking; just add extra 5 minutes to the baking time if baking straight from cold.
To make it spicier, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture.
This dip can also be warmed in a slow cooker on low setting for parties.
