Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 14 ounces artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (255 grams)
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained (283 grams)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Dairy and Condiments

  • 1 cup sour cream (227 grams)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (56.5 grams)
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (113.5 grams)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (25 grams)
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated (56.5 grams)
  • 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Seasonings

  • 1/2 – 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature while you prepare the dip.
  2. Mix the creamy base: In a bowl, blend together the sour cream, mayonnaise, and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the vegetables and seasonings: Stir in the chopped artichoke hearts, thawed and drained spinach, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Taste the mixture and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
  4. Prepare to bake: Pour the mixture into a 2-cup baking dish and cover it loosely with foil or a lid to prevent the top from drying out.
  5. Bake the dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the dip is hot and bubbly.
  6. Serve warm: Remove from the oven and serve the dip warm with bagel chips, pita chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the frozen spinach is thoroughly thawed and squeezed dry to avoid excess moisture in the dip.
  • You can adjust the cayenne pepper according to your preferred spice level or omit it for a milder flavor.
  • For a richer dip, consider adding extra cheese on top before baking for a golden crust.
  • This dip can be prepared a day in advance; just refrigerate and bake when ready to serve.
