Description
Creamy Cheesy Spinach Artichoke Dip That Everyone Loves
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (use full-fat for richer texture)
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (can substitute with nutritional yeast for a vegan option)
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (may replace with any melting cheese like Gouda)
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream (Greek yogurt can be a lighter alternative)
- 1/4 cup Mayonnaise (substitute with avocado for a healthier twist)
- 14 oz Marinated Artichoke Hearts (fresh artichokes can be used if available)
- 10 oz Frozen Chopped Spinach (make sure to wilt and drain it properly)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced) (garlic powder can be used in a pinch)
- 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (adjust quantity or omit based on preference)
- 2 large Bread Bowls (any round loaves like sourdough work well)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your baking dish—either a 9×9″ dish or a cast iron skillet.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix in the marinated artichoke hearts, thawed and drained spinach, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Carefully transfer the mixture into the prepped baking dish or cast iron skillet. Ensure every corner of the dish is filled with your cheesy goodness.
- Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then serve hot with chips, sliced bread, or fresh veggie sticks.
Notes
- This dip is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less crushed red pepper flakes.
- For a vegan version, use nutritional yeast and avocado instead of cream cheese and mayonnaise.
