Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, full fat
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and thoroughly squeezed dry
  • 14 oz artichoke hearts, canned or jarred, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Crusty bread, pita chips, or tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Thaw frozen spinach and squeeze it thoroughly in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove all excess moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or fork.
  4. Add minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix until evenly distributed.
  5. Stir in the squeezed spinach and chopped artichoke hearts.
  6. Add grated Parmesan cheese and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until well combined.
  7. Spread the mixture evenly into a 9×9 inch baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the dip is hot, bubbling around the edges, and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure the spinach is squeezed completely dry to prevent a watery dip. Bring cream cheese and sour cream to room temperature for a smoother mixture. The dip can be made up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated before baking.
