A quick and easy homemade game day snack featuring tender spinach and tangy artichokes in a luscious, cheesy sauce. Perfect for cozy gatherings and crowd-pleasing occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 14 oz artichoke hearts, canned or jarred, drained and roughly chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Drain and roughly chop the artichoke hearts.
  2. Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes until softened. Alternatively, microwave in 10-second bursts until just soft but not melted.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
  4. Stir in shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix well until combined.
  5. Gently fold the drained spinach and chopped artichokes into the creamy mixture, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Spoon the mixture into a prepared 8×8-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  8. Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving to help it set slightly.

Notes

Drain spinach and artichokes thoroughly to avoid watery dip. Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth texture. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. For thicker dip, add extra shredded mozzarella. Reheat gently to avoid separation.
