Main Ingredients
- 1 block cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp garlic (minced)
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (shredded)
- 1 can artichokes (diced)
- 10 oz organic frozen spinach (defrosted and squeezed)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Topping
- Grated parmesan (to sprinkle on top)
- Mozzarella (to sprinkle on top)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F to prepare for baking the spinach dip.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, diced artichokes, defrosted and squeezed spinach, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is well incorporated and smooth.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the prepared mixture into a baking dish or cast iron skillet, spreading it evenly. Then, sprinkle additional mozzarella and parmesan cheeses over the top for a cheesy crust.
- Bake the Dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the dip is hot and bubbly throughout.
- Optional Broil: For a golden and slightly crispy finish, broil the dip for an additional 2 minutes at the end of baking. Be careful to watch closely to prevent burning.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the defrosted spinach to prevent a watery dip.
- Use fresh minced garlic for the best flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- This dip pairs well with gluten-free crackers, pita bread, or fresh vegetable sticks.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
