Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichokes, chopped
- 6 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the dip.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated. Add the minced garlic, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, chopped artichokes, and thawed spinach. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Spread the dip mixture evenly into a 1-quart baking dish, smoothing the top to ensure even heating.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dip is heated throughout and bubbly on top.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the hot dip warm alongside sliced baguette, crackers, or your preferred dippables.
Notes
- Ensure the frozen spinach is thoroughly thawed and excess water is squeezed out to avoid a watery dip.
- You can use fresh garlic instead of minced garlic for a stronger flavor.
- For a lower-fat version, substitute light cream cheese and sour cream.
- This dip can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
- Try adding a dash of red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
