Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained and chopped)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 4 cloves roasted garlic cloves (mashed)
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small baking dish with olive oil and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil and cook the spinach until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the spinach to cool slightly, then squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Chop the spinach finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the roasted garlic, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the flavors evenly.
Fold in the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the top is golden and slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks of your choice.
