Make this creamy spinach artichoke dip, a warm, cheesy, and gooey party favorite that impresses guests. It is an easy appetizer perfect for gatherings or a comforting snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8-inch pie dish or small oven-safe baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth.
  3. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, dried spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot throughout and the top cheese is melted and lightly golden brown.
  6. Let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with pita chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • Squeeze as much liquid out of the thawed spinach as possible to prevent a watery dip.
  • You can prepare this cheesy comfort food mixture up to one day ahead. Cover and refrigerate, then add the topping cheese before baking.
  • For a slow cooker dip option, combine all ingredients (except topping cheese), place in a small slow cooker, and cook on low for 2 hours or high for 1 hour, stirring halfway through. Top with cheese and cook until melted.
