Dip 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 (divided into 3/4 cup and 1/4 cup)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup spinach, frozen, thawed and liquid squeezed out
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the correct temperature before baking the dip.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, softened cream cheese, drained and squeezed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, and 3/4 cup of the grated parmesan cheese. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Grease an 8×8 inch or similar sized baking dish, or a glass pie dish, to prevent sticking and for easy serving.
- Assemble Dip: Transfer the mixed dip into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly. Then sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese evenly on top.
- Bake the Dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the cheese on top is slightly golden.
- Serve Warm: Remove from oven and serve the dip warm alongside crackers, bread, or your favorite dippers.
Notes
- For best results, use cream cheese at room temperature to ensure easy mixing.
- Squeeze out excess water from thawed spinach to avoid a watery dip.
- You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a tangier and lower-fat version.
- This dip can be prepared in advance and baked just before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
