Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed very dry
  • 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts in water, drained and chopped
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 1.5 to 2-quart baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Beat until smooth.
  3. Add 3/4 cup Parmesan, 3/4 cup mozzarella, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, and optional cayenne. Stir until well combined.
  4. Fold in the squeezed-dry spinach and chopped artichokes until evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Transfer mixture to the prepared dish and spread evenly. Top with remaining 1/4 cup each of Parmesan and mozzarella.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until hot, bubbly, and golden brown on top.
  7. Let dip rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure spinach is squeezed very dry to prevent a watery dip. The dip can be assembled a day ahead and refrigerated before baking. For serving, try with baguette slices, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
