Ingredients
Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, well softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 garlic clove, minced (1 tsp)
- 2/3 cup (76 g) finely shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (56 g) finely shredded mozzarella cheese
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 (14 oz) can quartered artichoke hearts, liquid drained, chopped
- 6 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed to drain excess liquid
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a small (1 quart) baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prepare for baking.
- Mix base ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add vegetables: Fold in the drained and chopped artichoke hearts along with the thawed, drained spinach, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Bake the dip: Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and melty, about 20 minutes.
- Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices for dipping.
Notes
- Be sure to squeeze excess moisture from both the spinach and artichokes to prevent a watery dip.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and mayonnaise for a lighter version.
- Add extra garlic or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a more robust flavor.
- To keep warm longer, serve the dip in a small slow cooker on low heat.
- Leftovers store well covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven.
