Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped – adds color and nutrients
- 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped – gives tangy, tender texture
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened – creates a smooth, creamy base
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise – adds richness and tang
- 1/4 cup sour cream – lightens texture and enhances flavor
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese – melts into a gooey layer
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese – adds nutty, salty depth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced – gives aromatic flavor
- 1/4 teaspoon salt – balances the flavors
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper – adds mild spice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the minced garlic, chopped spinach, and artichoke hearts until evenly distributed.
- Add mozzarella and parmesan cheese, reserving a small handful of each for topping.
- Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the dip rest for 5 minutes before serving warm with chips, bread, or veggies.
Notes
- Make ahead: Prepare the dip up to 2 days before baking and refrigerate covered.
