Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 14 ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, loosely measured
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup spinach, frozen, thawed and liquid squeezed out

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare it for baking the dip.
  2. Combine the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend sour cream, mayonnaise, cream cheese, drained spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, and 3/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Prepare the baking dish: Grease a baking dish approximately 8×8 inches or similar size, such as a glass pie dish, to prevent sticking.
  4. Fill the dish: Spoon the prepared dip mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  5. Add topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the dip.
  6. Bake the dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and slightly golden on the edges.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm with crackers, bread, or your favorite dipping options.

Notes

  • Make sure to thoroughly squeeze out the liquid from the thawed spinach to prevent a watery dip.
  • Using room temperature cream cheese ensures easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of black pepper or red pepper flakes for extra flavor if desired.
  • This dip pairs well with toasted baguette slices, pita chips, or vegetable sticks for a healthier option.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
