Here’s a classic and creamy Spinach and Artichoke Dip recipe that’s perfect for parties, game nights, or just a cozy snack. It’s a warm, cheesy dip made with spinach, artichokes, and plenty of creamy goodness!
Ingredients
- 1 (10 oz) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained (or 4 cups fresh spinach, sautéed and chopped)
- 1 (14 oz) can of artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (or about 1 ½ cups jarred artichokes, chopped)
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (plus extra for topping)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for a little heat)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (if sautéing fresh spinach)
Instructions
- If using frozen spinach: Thaw the spinach, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- If using fresh spinach: Sauté the spinach in a pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until wilted (about 3-4 minutes). Then chop it finely and set it aside.
- Artichokes: If using canned artichokes, drain them well and chop them into small pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese (reserve a little mozzarella for topping). Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Add the garlic, drained spinach, chopped artichokes, and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix everything until evenly distributed.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish (an 8×8-inch dish or similar size works well).
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the dip for a gooey, cheesy finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the top is golden and slightly browned.
- Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with tortilla chips, sliced baguette, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.
Enjoy your Spinach and Artichoke Dip—creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor!
