Ingredients
2 cups fresh spinach
1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the spinach until wilted. Transfer to a strainer or cheesecloth and squeeze out all excess moisture. Chop finely.
3. In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in garlic, salt, and pepper.
4. Fold in chopped spinach and artichoke hearts. Add half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, reserving the rest for topping.
5. Transfer mixture to a cast iron skillet or oven-safe dish. Spread evenly and top with remaining cheese.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until bubbling and golden on top.
7. Serve warm with bread, chips, or veggie sticks.
Notes
Squeeze the spinach well: Moisture is the enemy of creamy dip texture. Drain thoroughly to avoid watery results.
Use freshly grated cheese: It melts more smoothly and gives you that perfect pull.
Make ahead friendly: Prep and refrigerate unbaked dip up to 2 days in advance for stress-free hosting.
