Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh spinach (or frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
- 1 cup Artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, 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, for heat)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using fresh spinach, sauté it in a large skillet over medium heat until wilted, then drain and chop. Skip this step if using frozen spinach; just make sure it's thawed and thoroughly drained.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add the garlic, artichoke hearts, spinach, Parmesan cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top for a golden, bubbly finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and the cheese on top is melted and golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
