A creamy and flavorful spinach-artichoke party bowl topped with perfectly soft-boiled eggs, ideal for entertaining and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, washed and roughly chopped
  • 14 ounces artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (canned or jarred)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste (start with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook, stirring often, until wilted but still vibrant green, about 3-4 minutes. Drain excess liquid and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Blend until smooth and creamy. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Fold in grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheeses. Gently mix in sautéed spinach and chopped artichoke hearts, combining evenly but keeping some texture.
  4. Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil. Carefully lower 6 large eggs using a slotted spoon. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for soft-boiled centers. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes. Peel eggs gently once cooled.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer spinach-artichoke mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish and spread evenly. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top.
  6. Remove from oven. Slice soft-boiled eggs in half and arrange on top of the warm dip. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or veggie sticks.

Notes

If mixture seems too runny, add a tablespoon of flour or breadcrumbs before baking to thicken. Avoid overcooking spinach to keep vibrant color and fresh flavor. Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor. Timing is key for perfect soft-boiled eggs: 6 minutes boiling plus 5 minutes ice bath. Keep an eye on baking time to prevent drying out or overbrowning. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently and add fresh soft-boiled eggs before serving.
