Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Description
The recipe starts by sautéing diced sweet onion and garlic in olive oil to build a base flavor. White wine is added to deglaze the pan, followed by thawed spinach and chopped artichoke hearts mixed in with red pepper flakes for subtle heat. Cream cheese and sour cream are melted together with the vegetables, creating a rich and creamy sauce. Parmesan cheese is stirred in for added savory depth and seasoning is adjusted with salt and black pepper.
Once assembled, shredded mozzarella is sprinkled on top and the dish is placed under a high broiler to brown the cheese and create a bubbly crust. This two-step cooking method enhances both the flavor and texture of the dip. Serving immediately ensures the dip is warm with the cheese perfectly melted.
