Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grab an oven-safe baking dish, about 1-quart in size.
Mixing the Dip
- In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
- Stir in the thawed and squeezed dry spinach, and the drained and chopped artichoke hearts until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Baking the Dip
- Transfer the spinach and artichoke mixture into the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle some extra grated Parmesan cheese on top for a golden crust.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and lightly browned on top. Keep an eye on it to prevent over-browning.
Serving Suggestions
- Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This brief resting period allows the dip to set slightly and prevents burns from the hot cheese.
- Serve your warm spinach artichoke dip with tortilla chips, pita bread, crackers, or even fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
Notes
For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dip mixture. You can prepare the dip ahead of time and refrigerate it. Just add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
