Scale
Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, well softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 garlic clove, minced (1 tsp)
- 2/3 cup (76g) finely shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (56g) finely shredded mozzarella cheese
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 (14 oz) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 6 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed to drain excess liquid
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a small 1-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, shredded parmesan, shredded mozzarella, and pepper. Stir well to create a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Add Vegetables: Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and drained spinach until evenly incorporated throughout the cheese mixture.
- Bake Dip: Spread the dip mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake in the preheated oven until the dip is heated through and melted, about 20 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure spinach and artichokes are well drained to avoid a watery dip.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- This dip can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated, then baked just before serving.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a tangier, lower-fat version.
- Use fresh spinach if preferred, just be sure to cook and drain it well to remove excess moisture.
