Ingredients

Main Ingredients

10 oz Cream Cheese Make sure it’s softened to room temperature for easy blending.
1 cup Sour Cream Opt for full-fat for creaminess or low-fat for a lighter dip.
1/3 cup Mayonnaise Adds richness and a smooth texture.
4 cloves Garlic Fresh minced garlic elevates the flavor.
2 cups Mozzarella Cheese Shredded for the best melting quality.
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Grated for that nutty flavor.
10 oz Spinach Fresh is best, but frozen works too; just ensure it’s drained well.
10 oz Artichoke Hearts Canned or jarred will do—drain and chop them for easy incorporation.
1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes For a hint of heat; you can adjust based on your spice preference.

Method

Preparation

Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Shred the mozzarella cheese.
Drain spinach well.
Chop artichoke hearts.
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth.
Add minced garlic, parmesan cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese; mix thoroughly.
Fold in spinach and artichoke hearts, then add red pepper flakes. Mix gently.

Baking

Transfer to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spread evenly, and top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
Let rest for 2-3 minutes, then serve with chips, crackers, or vegetables for dipping.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results. You can customize the dip with ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes or different cheeses.
