Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh spinach (or thawed and drained frozen spinach)
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Spinach and Artichokes: Thoroughly drain and chop the canned artichoke hearts. If using fresh spinach, finely chop it; if using frozen spinach, thaw completely and squeeze out all excess water to avoid a watery dip.
  2. Combine the Cheeses and Creamy Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese and stir in mayonnaise, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan until well blended. This mixture forms the creamy base of the dip.
  3. Add Spinach, Artichokes, and Seasoning: Fold in the prepared spinach, chopped artichokes, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Ensure everything is evenly mixed so the dip is flavorful throughout.
  4. Bake Until Bubbling and Golden: Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the top is bubbly and lightly golden, bringing all flavors together with a hot, melty finish.

Notes

  • Drain well: Squeeze all liquid from spinach and artichokes to prevent a watery dip.
  • Room temperature cheeses: Soften cream cheese before mixing for a smoother texture.
  • Use fresh garlic for best aroma and flavor over pre-minced or powdered garlic.
  • Don’t overbake to keep the dip smooth and moist; bake just until bubbly.
  • Let it rest slightly after baking to firm up for easier scooping.
