Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Dairy

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Seasoning

  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish using nonstick spray to prevent the dip from sticking.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine chopped fresh spinach, drained and chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, softened cream cheese, sour cream, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir the mixture well until fully blended and creamy.
  3. Season the dip: Add salt and pepper to taste, mixing thoroughly to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Prepare for baking: Transfer the mixed spinach and artichoke dip into the greased baking dish. Then, sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the top to create a cheesy crust.
  5. Bake the dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the top turns golden brown.
  6. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot. This dip pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips or slices of bread for dipping.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, you can finely chop the spinach and artichokes or pulse them in a food processor before mixing.
  • If you prefer a spicier dip, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • To make ahead, prepare the dip mixture, refrigerate, and bake just before serving.
  • Substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier and healthier variation.
  • Use gluten-free chips or bread to make this recipe gluten-free.
