Ingredients

Scale

Spinach & Artichoke

  • 10 oz. package frozen spinach (thawed and drained, chopped)
  • 14 oz. jar artichoke hearts (drained, chopped)

Dairy & Cheese

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the dip.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chopped thawed spinach, chopped drained artichoke hearts, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, and mozzarella cheese. Stir everything together until the mixture is thoroughly blended and smooth.
  3. Prepare to Bake: Spoon the creamy spinach and artichoke mixture into a cast iron skillet or a baking dish, spreading it evenly for consistent cooking.
  4. Bake Dip: Place the skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and heated through, with the cheese melted and slightly golden on top.
  5. Serve: Remove the dip from the oven and serve hot with pita chips, toasted baguettes, or your favorite dipping crackers for a delicious appetizer experience.

Notes

  • Thoroughly drain the spinach and artichoke hearts to prevent the dip from becoming watery.
  • You can substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a tangier and lighter version.
  • Use a cast iron skillet for even heat distribution and attractive presentation.
  • For extra flavor, add minced garlic or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • The dip can be made ahead and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
