Ingredients

• 10 oz Frozen chopped spinach
• 14 oz Canned artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
• 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Defrost the frozen spinach completely and squeeze out all excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth.

Step 4

Stir in the grated Parmesan, mozzarella, and Monterey Jack cheeses until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the mixture and stir well.

Step 6

Gently fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and the drained, defrosted spinach until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out to create an even layer.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.

Step 9

For a golden, slightly crispy top, switch the oven to broil mode for 1–2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm with tortilla chips, pita bread, fresh vegetables, or toasted baguette slices.
