Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or a 1-quart oven-safe dish.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and well combined.
3
Stir in 3/4 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese and all of the grated Parmesan cheese. Add the drained and chopped artichoke hearts, thoroughly squeezed dry spinach, minced garlic, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if using).
4
Mix all ingredients well until everything is evenly distributed. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Be mindful of the salt, as the cheeses are already salty.
5
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese over the top.
6
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and the cheese on top is melted and lightly golden. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, pita bread, or sliced baguette.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

What's the best way to serve this dip?

This dip is best served warm directly from the oven. Popular dippers include tortilla chips, pita chips, crostini, baguette slices, or even vegetable sticks like carrots and celery.

How do I ensure the spinach isn't watery?

It's crucial to thaw the frozen spinach completely and then squeeze out as much excess water as possible. You can use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to really wring it dry, which prevents the dip from becoming watery.
