Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• 1 cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
• 1 cup mayonnaise or sour cream
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

How to Make It

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium baking dish so the artichoke dip doesn’t stick while baking.

Step 2: Mix the Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and garlic. Stir until smooth and creamy. This step creates that rich, silky base for the dip.

Step 3: Add the Flavor

Fold in the chopped artichokes, spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until it’s evenly combined and creamy.

Step 4: Prepare to Bake

Spoon the mixture into your baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top if you love a golden, bubbly crust.

Step 5: Bake the Dip

Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the top is lightly browned.

Step 6: Cool Slightly and Serve

Let your artichoke dip rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This short rest helps it thicken slightly and makes every bite extra creamy. Serve warm with bread, crackers, or even small wonton cups for a fun, handheld version.

Variations & Customization Ideas

This artichoke dip is so forgiving that you can make it your own with ease. Swap mayonnaise for Greek yogurt if you prefer a lighter touch. Add crispy bacon bits or shredded chicken for extra flavor and heartiness.

If you’re planning a full spread, pair this creamy spinach artichoke dip with baked brie bites or mini caprese skewers for a beautiful mix of textures and colors.

You can even bake it in a hollowed bread bowl it looks stunning on a party table and guests love tearing off pieces of bread to scoop the dip.

Storage & Reheating Tips

Leftovers (if you manage to have any!) will keep beautifully. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

To reheat, place the dip in an oven-safe dish, cover it loosely with foil, and bake at 350°F until it’s warm and creamy again. The texture stays rich and satisfying, even after reheating.

For a quick snack, spoon a bit onto a cracker or toast and heat in the microwave for about 20 seconds. It’s a lovely way to bring back that fresh-from-the-oven flavor without the wait.

What to Serve It With

This dip shines when served with toasted baguette slices, crunchy pita chips, or colorful veggie sticks. When I’m hosting, I like to build a small appetizer board with it surrounded by options like puff pastry appetizers and bisquick sausage balls.

It’s the perfect centerpiece for any snack table warm, creamy, and full of flavor. If you want something heartier, you can serve it next to sausage cheese balls for a savory balance. Together, they create that comforting “just one more bite” feeling.
