A round black cast iron skillet filled with creamy white spinach artichoke dip topped with soft, slightly browned artichoke pieces scattered over the surface alongside specks of black pepper. On the top left edge of the skillet, several slices of crusty white bread with airy holes and a light dusting of flour rest partially overlapping each other.

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese (softened)
½ cup mayonnaise

½ cup sour cream
⅔ cup Parmesan cheese (finely shredded)

½ cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
8 oz frozen spinach (thawed, squeezed dry, and chopped)
15 oz can artichoke hearts (packed in water, drained and chopped)

Slices of crusty bread or crackers for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9-inch pie pan or a small oven-safe dish with cooking spray and set it aside.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until smooth and well blended.

Step 3: Stir in the chopped spinach and artichoke hearts, making sure everything is evenly incorporated.
Step 4: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the dip is bubbly in the center and lightly browned around the edges.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and serve warm with slices of crusty bread or your favorite crackers. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For extra cheesiness, sprinkle additional mozzarella on top before baking.
Add fresh chopped garlic instead of garlic powder for a stronger garlic flavor.
Use fresh spinach sautéed until wilted if you prefer over frozen.

Mix in a pinch of nutmeg for a subtle warm note that complements the creaminess.

Storage

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through. If the dip seems dry after reheating, stir in a little extra sour cream or mayonnaise to restore creaminess.
