Ingredients

• 2 cups Spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)
• 1 can (14 oz) Artichoke hearts (canned, drained, and chopped)
• 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. If using fresh spinach, steam or sauté it until wilted, then chop and remove excess moisture.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Fold in the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches or similar size). Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are bubbly and the top is lightly golden.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with tortilla chips, sliced baguette, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks like carrots and celery.
