Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 can (14 ounces) canned artichoke hearts (drained, chopped)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 4 ounces goat cheese (crumbled)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 cloves garlic cloves (roasted and mashed)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and add the tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the fresh spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the spinach and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, goat cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth.
Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, mashed roasted garlic, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chopped artichoke hearts and cooked spinach to the cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional grated Parmesan or a sprinkle of smoked paprika, if desired. Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables.
