Ingredients
Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese, well softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp minced garlic (1 garlic clove)
- 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, drained and chopped
- 6 oz. frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed to drain excess liquid
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a small 1-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix the base: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly stir together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Add the vegetables: Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and drained spinach, mixing evenly to incorporate all ingredients.
- Bake the dip: Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and melty.
- Serve warm: Remove from oven and serve the dip warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure to thoroughly drain the spinach and artichokes to avoid a watery dip.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture.
- This dip can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
- For a lighter version, substitute the sour cream and mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or microwave.
