A creamy, cheesy spinach artichoke dip perfect for parties and casual gatherings, served warm with crispy tortilla chips for a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped and cooked down
  • 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Crispy tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of olive oil, then toss in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the chopped fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. If using frozen spinach, squeeze out all excess water before adding to the skillet. Set aside to cool slightly.
  4. Drain and roughly chop the artichoke hearts.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  7. Fold the cooked spinach and chopped artichokes into the creamy cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
  8. Spread the dip mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly. Optionally broil for 1-2 minutes for extra browning, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  10. Let the dip rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Scoop generously with crispy tortilla chips and enjoy.

Notes

Cook down spinach thoroughly to avoid sogginess. Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth blending. Let dip rest after baking for easier scooping. Add a splash of milk if dip is too thick before baking. For gluten-free option, serve with gluten-free chips or veggies. Vegan substitutions include plant-based cream cheese, mayo, and nutritional yeast.
