Ingredients
  

  • Core Ingredients:
  • 2 cups chopped spinach fresh or frozen, drained well
  • 1 can 14 oz artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup sour cream or mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Flavor Boosters:
  • 1 clove garlic minced (optional)
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Step 1 – Prep the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Step 2 – Mix the Base:
  • In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream (or mayo), mozzarella, and Parmesan. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Step 3 – Add the Good Stuff:
  • Fold in spinach, chopped artichokes, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
  • Step 4 – Bake to Golden Perfection:
  • Spread the mixture evenly in a baking dish and sprinkle extra cheese on top.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly golden on top.
  • Step 5 – Serve Warm:
  • Let it cool slightly, then serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, baguette slices, or veggie sticks.

Notes

  • Drain spinach and artichokes well to avoid watery texture.
  • Use room-temperature cream cheese for a smooth blend.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness for extra flavor.
  • Don’t overbake — remove as soon as it’s bubbly and golden.
