Ingredients
- 5 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 can (14 ounces) canned artichoke hearts (drained, chopped)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 4 ounces goat cheese (crumbled)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 4 cloves garlic cloves (roasted and mashed)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and add the tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the fresh spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the spinach and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, goat cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth.
Step 4
Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, mashed roasted garlic, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Add the chopped artichoke hearts and cooked spinach to the cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Garnish with additional grated Parmesan or a sprinkle of smoked paprika, if desired. Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables.
