Equipment

  • 1-quart Baking Dish
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped (or 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
  • 1 can artichoke hearts 14 oz, drained and roughly chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth and well-integrated.
  • Fold in the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, minced garlic, ¾ cup of mozzarella, ¼ cup of Parmesan, and red pepper flakes if using. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Spoon the mixture into a 1-quart baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the dip is bubbly around the edges and the cheese on top has turned a beautiful golden brown. For an extra touch of color, you can broil for the final 2 minutes, but watch carefully to prevent burning!

Notes

Greek yogurt can replace sour cream for a tangier, protein-rich alternative
Neufchâtel cheese works instead of cream cheese for a lighter version
For dairy-free options, use plant-based cream cheese and vegan cheese alternatives
Make sure to thoroughly drain the spinach and artichokes to prevent a watery dip
This dip can be refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container
For make-ahead convenience, assemble the dip up to 24 hours before baking
