A Classic Crowd-Pleasing Favorite

This isn't just any dip; it's a culinary masterpiece, blending creamy, cheesy goodness with the perfect balance of spinach and artichokes.

In our kitchen, we believe in the magic of getting the ratios just right. Say goodbye to overwhelming spinach or underwhelming artichokes – our recipe ensures every bite is harmoniously delicious.

Whether you want to enjoy it with some air fryer tortilla chips or rustic bread, your guests will not be disappointed. In fact, it is so delicious that you won't have any leftovers!

🥘 Ingredients

This simple ingredient list contains a bunch of different cheeses! I prefer to shred the cheese myself, but you can buy it pre-shredded.

  • Cream Cheese - 1 8-ounce package of cream cheese softened to room temperature.
  • Sour Cream - ¼ cup of sour cream.
  • Mozzarella Cheese - ¼ cup of Mozzarella cheese.
  • Cheddar Cheese - ¼ cup of cheddar cheese.
  • Basil - 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil or frozen basil cubes.
  • Garlic - 1 tablespoon of minced garlic.
  • Garlic Powder - ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Salt & Pepper - ¼ teaspoon of both salt and pepper.
  • Artichoke Hearts - 1 14-ounce can of artichoke hearts. Make sure to drain and chop them!
  • Spinach - 2 cups of fresh, chopped spinach.
  • Parmesan Cheese - ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese.

📖 Variations

  • Cheese Adventure: Swap traditional mozzarella with a combination of Monterey Jack for its creamy melt for an extra flavor punch.
  • Mayo Alternative: For a lighter version, replace mayo with an equal amount of Greek yogurt. Use at least 2% fat yogurt to maintain that creamy texture.

  1. Preheat and prep. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter your small casserole or baking dish.

  3. Add artichokes. Next, fold in the 14 ounces of artichoke hearts, 2 tablespoons of fresh basil, and 2 cups of chopped fresh spinach.
  4. Transfer and top. Transfer the dip mixture into your buttered baking dish and top with your ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese.

This dip is perfect for any party or get-together! Try with a couple of our cocktails, like a Malibu Pina Colada, Pink Vodka Lemonade, Lemoncello, or a Cosmo! Enjoy!

💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes

  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature! This will help everything to mix together easily!
  • Don't use frozen spinach. Fresh spinach will taste the best and have the best texture.
  • To store: Transfer any leftover dip to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat: Place your leftovers into a baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. I recommend adding some extra shredded cheese before reheating!

❓ Recipe FAQs

Can I Double This Recipe?

Of course! Since it is baked in the oven, I recommend using two separate baking dishes rather than piling it all into one. This will help to ensure everything bakes evenly.

Can I Make This Dip In A Slow Cooker?

You sure can! Simply add all of your ingredients into your crockpot and cook on low heat. Make sure to stir occasionally, and it should be ready in around 2 hours.

Can I Make Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip Ahead Of Time?

Yep! To make this tasty dip ahead of time, simply prepare it all the way - just don't put it in the oven yet. Cover it and keep it in the fridge for a day until you are ready to bake it!

    Question: I live with someone who is allergic to sour cream. What can I replace it with?

      My first pick would be plain greek yogurt. Is other dairy OK? If the yogurt and sour cream (fermented dairy) are out from the options, use heavy cream or their preferred dairy alternative that will hold up to baking. Hope that helps!
