A quick and easy creamy spinach and artichoke dip that tastes like a restaurant classic, perfect for potlucks, game nights, and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, a pinch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Thaw the frozen spinach completely, then firmly squeeze out excess moisture.
  3. Drain the can and roughly chop the artichoke hearts into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the mayonnaise and sour cream until very smooth.
  5. Stir in Parmesan, mozzarella, and minced garlic until evenly incorporated.
  6. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Taste the mixture.
  7. Fold the drained spinach and chopped artichokes into the creamy cheese mixture gently but thoroughly.
  8. Spread the dip evenly in your prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and lightly golden.
  10. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Drain spinach thoroughly to avoid watery dip. Soften cream cheese fully for smooth texture. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly. Sprinkle extra Parmesan or breadcrumbs on top for crunch. Can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for lighter option. Vegan alternatives can be used for dairy-free version.
