Ingredients
Scale
Dip 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)
Serving
- Slices of crusty bread or crackers
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly coat a 9-inch pie pan or a small oven-safe dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then set it aside for later use.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Then fold in the chopped spinach and artichoke hearts until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Bake the Dip: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the center is bubbly and the edges are slightly browned and golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
- Serve: Serve the dip hot with slices of crusty bread or your favorite crackers for dipping. Enjoy the creamy and flavorful appetizer immediately.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the thawed spinach to avoid a watery dip.
- You can substitute fresh spinach if desired, but blanch and chop it before use.
- Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to control spiciness according to your taste.
- This dip can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving for convenience.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
