Ingredients

• 16 oz frozen chopped spinach
• 14 oz artichoke hearts
• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.

Step 2

Thaw the frozen chopped spinach and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Set aside.

Step 3

Drain and roughly chop the artichoke hearts. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-5 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion and garlic, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup of mozzarella cheese, spinach, and artichoke hearts. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

Step 6

Season the mixture with kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix again to incorporate the seasonings.

Step 7

Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Sprinkle this breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Let the casserole cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
