Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the thawed, dry spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the cheese topping is melted and lightly golden brown.
- Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving hot with pita chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
Notes
- Squeeze as much water as possible from the thawed spinach; excess moisture will make your dip watery.
- You can prepare the entire dip mixture ahead of time, cover it, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the refrigerator.
- For a slow cooker spinach artichoke dip, combine all ingredients, place in a small slow cooker, and cook on low for 2-3 hours until bubbly.
