Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip
This Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip combines tender cooked spinach and artichoke hearts with cream cheese, sour cream, and a blend of Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. The mixture is cooked on the stovetop to meld flavors and then broiled briefly to develop a golden, bubbly top. The dip offers a creamy texture with a mild kick from crushed red pepper flakes, perfect for serving warm as an appetizer or snack.
