Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil and set it aside.
Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
Drain and roughly chop the canned artichoke hearts.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Fold the thawed spinach and chopped artichoke hearts into the cheese mixture until evenly coated.
Transfer the spinach and artichoke mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with a drizzle of olive oil until crumbs are lightly coated. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole. Optionally, sprinkle paprika on top for added flavor and color.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until it is bubbling around the edges and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish, dip, or even a vegetarian main course. Pair with crusty bread or fresh vegetables!
