Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip
Description
Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip blends coarsely chopped artichoke hearts, garlic, and shallots with creamy Greek yogurt and light mayonnaise. Parmesan and shredded mozzarella add a flavorful, melty profile. Baking the combined ingredients at 375°F melds the tastes and textures into a warm, thick dip that holds well for sharing. The inclusion of spinach adds a mild earthiness and a green hue throughout.
The dip has a smooth yet slightly chunky composition with rich cheese melted throughout. The balance of the tangy yogurt and mayonnaise moderates the sharpness of the Parmesan and mozzarella. Baking ensures the cheese melts evenly, creating appealing pockets of golden creaminess.
Serve immediately after baking while hot, paired with chips or toasted bread for dipping. The recipe’s modest seasoning allows the ingredients' natural flavors to shine, making it a comfortable and inviting option for gatherings or snacks.
Mayonnaise is a key ingredient here for texture though light sour cream can substitute if preferred, with minimal impact on flavor. The artichokes should be drained well to avoid excess moisture affecting the dip’s consistency.
