Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
- 1 cup artichoke hearts (canned, drained, and chopped)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish or pie dish.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly sauté the chopped spinach for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and minced garlic. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.
Fold in the sautéed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, parmesan cheese, and 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for 5 minutes. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced vegetables.
