Equipment

  • oven
  • Bowls
  • Spatula
  • Baking dish

Ingredients
  

Spinach and Artichoke Base

  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach
  • 2 cups marinated artichoke hearts drained, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • cup mayonnaise
  • cup sour cream

Cheese Topping

  • 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese shredded whole milk
  • ¾ cups parmesan cheese finely shredded

Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the Oven: Set the oven rack to the middle position. Preheat to 400ºF (204ºC). Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  • Defrost the Spinach: Place the frozen spinach in a bowl and defrost at medium power for about 4 minutes, stirring halfway through. The leaves should be thawed but not hot. Use your hands and squeeze the spinach to remove excess liquid.
  • Combine the Ingredients: In a medium bowl, use a spatula to mix the drained spinach, chopped artichokes, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, 1 cup of mozzarella, ½ cup parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Bake: Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish. Spread evenly. Sprinkle ½ cup mozzarella cheese and ¼ cup parmesan cheese on top. Bake until cheese is lightly browned and bubbling around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • To Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve with chips, sliced baguettes, or crackers.

Notes

Using Fresh Spinach: Use 8 ounces or 6 cups of packed baby spinach. Blanch or saute the spinach, yielding about 1 cup. Once cooled, chop into smaller pieces. Made Ahead: Assemble, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Storing: Cool, cover, and refrigerate the baked dip for up to 2 days. Reheat: Preheat oven to 325ºF (163ºC). Bake dip until warmed throughout, and cheese is melted about 20 to 25 minutes. Cover with foil if the surface is browning too quickly.
