Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 (14 oz) can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
- 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (or 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Have all ingredients ready, and make sure the spinach is well squeezed so the dip stays thick and creamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the sour cream, mayonnaise, and half of the mozzarella until smooth and creamy. The base should be glossy and inviting.
- Fold in the chopped artichokes, drained spinach, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly coated with that creamy base.
- Transfer the mixture to a baking dish (8×8 inch or similar). Smooth the top, then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan over the surface for a bubbly, golden crust as it bakes.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and lightly browned at the edges. If you like a deeper crust, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely so nothing burns.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. The aroma will intensify, and the dip will thicken slightly—as it cools, the flavors shine through with every scoop.
