Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish (approximately 8x8 or 9x9 inches).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, half of the shredded mozzarella, half of the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined and smooth.
3
Add the thawed and thoroughly squeezed dry spinach, along with the drained and chopped artichoke hearts, to the cream cheese mixture. Fold gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
4
Transfer the dip mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the top.
5
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden brown. For extra browning, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
6
Remove from the oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot with tortilla chips, pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best dippers for this dip?

Tortilla chips are a classic choice, but pita bread (toasted or soft), baguette slices, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks like carrots, celery, and bell peppers also work wonderfully.

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dip mixture and store it in the baking dish, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add the remaining cheese on top just before baking. You might need to add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

How should I store leftover dip?

Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
