Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 cups Fresh spinach (chopped)
- 1 cup Artichoke hearts (drained and roughly chopped)
- 1 cup Lump crab meat
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Hot sauce (optional)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Olive oil (for sautéing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped spinach, sautéing for 2-3 minutes or until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, and 3/4 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the sautéed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, lump crab meat, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the mixture into a greased 8-inch or similar-sized baking dish. Spread it out evenly and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese on top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
