Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh spinach (chopped)
• 1 cup artichoke hearts (canned, drained, and chopped)
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish or pie dish.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly sauté the chopped spinach for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and minced garlic. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Fold in the sautéed spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, parmesan cheese, and 3/4 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly for 5 minutes. Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced vegetables.
