Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed very dry
  • 14 oz can artichoke hearts drained and chopped
  • 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 1.5-quart baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Make sure your thawed spinach is squeezed completely dry to remove all excess moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
  3. Fold in the squeezed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
  4. Spread the mixture into a 1.5-quart baking dish. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
  5. Let cool for a few minutes before serving hot with your favorite dippers.

Notes

Tip 1: For an extra rich flavor, you can add 1/4 cup of shredded Gruyère cheese to the mix.
Tip 2: Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in your dip.
Tip 3: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
