Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
- Tortilla chips, crackers, or bread for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed dry spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and garlic. Mix well.
- Stir in the salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper, if using.
- Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Let the dip cool for a few minutes before serving hot with your favorite chips, crackers, or bread.
Notes
- Squeeze the spinach very dry; excess water makes the dip runny.
- You can prepare the dip mixture ahead of time and store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
- If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil for the remainder of the baking time.
- This dip is perfect for game days or any casual get-together.
