Easy Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe

Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese, well softened
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tsp garlic, minced (1 clove)
• 2/3 cup (76g) finely shredded parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup (56g) 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
• Non-stick cooking spray, for the baking dish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a small 1-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. In a mixing bowl, thoroughly stir together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, shredded parmesan, shredded mozzarella, and pepper until well combined and smooth.
3. Gently fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and drained spinach, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, then bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the dip is heated through and melty.
5. Remove from the oven and serve the dip warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices for dipping.

Notes

• For a smoother dip, let the cream cheese come to room temperature before mixing.
• Make sure to thoroughly drain both the spinach and artichokes to prevent excess moisture from thinning out the dip.
• Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream to reduce fat.
• To add extra flavor, sprinkle some extra parmesan or mozzarella on top before baking.
• This dip can be made a day ahead and refrigerated; just warm before serving.
