Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, chopped
- 6 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the dip.
- Combine the ingredients: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then stir in the minced garlic, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped artichoke hearts, and the thawed and thoroughly squeezed dry spinach until well combined.
- Bake the dip: Transfer the mixture evenly into a 1-quart baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and heated through completely, with a lightly golden top.
- Serve warm: Remove the baked dip from the oven and serve it warm alongside sliced baguette, crackers, or tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure the spinach is fully thawed and squeezed dry to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and smooth texture.
- This dip can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; just bake before serving.
- For extra creaminess, add a little bit of mayonnaise or sour cream as needed.
- Feel free to add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
