Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated, plus more for topping
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed dry
  • 14 ounces canned artichoke hearts drained and chopped

Equipment

  • Oven-safe baking dish (1-quart)
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Spatula or spoon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grab an oven-safe baking dish, about 1-quart in size.
Mixing the Dip
  1. 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.
  2. Stir in the thawed and squeezed dry spinach, and the drained and chopped artichoke hearts until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Baking the Dip
  1. 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.
  2. 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
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
