Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Thaw the frozen spinach completely, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Drain and chop the artichoke hearts finely.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Stir in shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in the prepared spinach and artichokes until evenly distributed.
  5. In a small bowl, mix grated Parmesan with melted butter to create the crispy topping.
  6. Transfer the spinach-artichoke mixture to a baking dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle the Parmesan-butter mixture evenly over the surface.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the dip on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown, crispy, and the dip is bubbly around the edges.
  8. Let the dip cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving to help it set and make scooping easier.

Notes

Squeeze spinach dry to avoid watery dip. Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth mixing. Mix Parmesan with melted butter for a crispy crust. Tent with foil if crust browns too fast. Prepare filling a day ahead to deepen flavors and save time.
