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 and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the thawed and drained spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Transfer to baking dish: Spread the mixture evenly into a baking dish suitable for oven use.
Bake the dip: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Serve warm: Remove from the oven and serve warm with tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
Notes
Make sure to thoroughly drain and squeeze out excess water from the spinach to avoid a watery dip.
Use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream for the creamiest texture.
For a zestier flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon juice.
This dip can be prepared a day ahead and baked just before serving.
If preferred, swap mayonnaise for Greek yogurt as a healthier alternative.
