Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
  • ½ cup (120 ml) sour cream, full-fat
  • 10 oz (280 g) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 14 oz (400 g) marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup (120 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp (3 g) salt
  • ¼ tsp (1 g) black pepper, freshly ground
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, a pinch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. If using frozen spinach, thaw completely and squeeze out as much water as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  3. Drain marinated artichoke hearts and roughly chop into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Beat or stir until smooth and creamy with no lumps.
  5. Stir in minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  6. Gently fold in the drained spinach and chopped artichokes until evenly mixed, avoiding overmixing.
  7. Add shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture and stir gently to combine.
  8. Spoon the mixture into an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden, bubbly, and edges start to brown slightly.
  10. Let the dip rest for about 5 minutes before serving to help it set and make scooping easier.

Notes

Squeeze spinach dry to prevent watery dip. Use softened cream cheese for smooth texture. Grate your own cheese for better meltiness. Tent with foil if dip browns too fast. Can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. Serve warm with chips, bread, or veggies. Reheat gently to avoid drying out.
