Ingredients

  • 14 ounces artichoke hearts drained and finely chopped
  • 10 ounces frozen spinach thawed, liquid squeezed out
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add the artichoke hearts, spinach, cream cheese, half of the mozzarella, sour cream, mayonnaise, parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Mix well until combined, I like to use an electric hand mixer.
  • Add the dip to the prepared baking dish and smooth out the top.
  • Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for 20 minutes, until bubbly.
  • If desired, turn the broiler on high and broil for a couple of minutes until the cheese browns. Keep an eye on it, so it doesn’t burn.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dippers.

Notes

  1. Getting the water out of the frozen spinach is crucial. You can use paper towels, a dish towel, or even a cheesecloth to wring it out and get out as much moisture as possible. If not, you'll have a watery thin dip. 
  2. You can freeze this dip to enjoy again later, see my tips above.
  3. If making this for a party, you can easily scale this to make a double batch or more. Just use a big enough serving dish, or two dishes. 
  4. You can add any of your favorite cheeses to this dip to make it exactly what you want, see some of my ideas above.
  5. Want some heat? Add some of my additions above! 
  6. Be sure to drain the artichoke hearts well too. They'll make the dip watery if you leave too much liquid.
