  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dip Base

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Vegetables

  • 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained
  • 14 oz artichoke hearts, chopped

Cheeses

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Seasonings

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the spinach and artichokes: Thaw the frozen spinach completely and squeeze out any excess water to ensure the dip stays rich and not watery. Chop the artichoke hearts into small, bite-sized pieces so they blend evenly throughout the dip.
  2. Combine the creamy base: In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy. This mixture forms the rich foundation that binds the dip’s flavors and texture.
  3. Add cheeses and seasoning: Stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses. Then incorporate the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper, layering in savory and aromatic notes that define the dip.
  4. Fold in spinach and artichokes: Gently fold the prepared spinach and chopped artichokes into the creamy cheese mixture, ensuring an even distribution for consistent flavor in every bite.
  5. Bake to perfection: Transfer the mixture into a baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This melds the flavors and melts the cheeses beautifully.

Notes

  • Drain spinach and artichokes well to avoid a soggy dip.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Mix thoroughly to prevent uneven flavor pockets.
  • Use fresh minced garlic for a brighter, more robust flavor than garlic powder or pre-minced garlic.
  • Do not skip baking—baking enhances flavor development and creates a pleasing texture contrast.
