Ingredients
Scale
- 10 oz fresh spinach, roughly chopped (or frozen, thawed and drained)
- 14 oz canned or jarred artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise (full-fat recommended, can substitute with Greek yogurt)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the spinach: roughly chop fresh spinach or thaw and squeeze out excess water if using frozen spinach.
- Drain and chop the artichoke hearts into bite-sized pieces.
- Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwaving for 15 seconds.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Add minced garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir to combine.
- Fold in the chopped spinach and artichokes until evenly distributed.
- Stir in grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese until the mixture is thick but spreadable.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch oven-safe baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let the dip cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Drain spinach and artichokes well to avoid a watery dip. Soften cream cheese before mixing for smooth texture. Tent with foil if cheese browns too quickly during baking. Leftovers taste better the next day after flavors meld. Can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking.
