Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe
Description
Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe blends cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and mayonnaise with garlic powder and chili flakes to create a creamy base. Chopped artichoke hearts and thawed, drained spinach are stirred in, offering a mix of tender greens and tender, flavorful artichoke pieces throughout the dip. The mixture is baked uncovered at 375°F until hot and bubbling, developing a slight golden top that enhances both texture and appearance.
The dip's smooth, rich consistency makes it excellent for scooping with toasted baguette slices or assorted crackers. The subtle garlic powder and the optional pinch of chili flakes add a gentle spicy note without overwhelming the flavors, while the Parmesan lends a salty depth. It serves well as a warm appetizer or snack for gatherings.
Prepare the ingredients so the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing, and ensure spinach is well drained to prevent excess moisture. Serve directly from the baking dish to maintain warmth and texture throughout the serving time.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese packed, grated
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and if using, the chili flakes. Using electric beaters, mix until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. You can also use your stand mixer for this step.
- Stir in the chopped artichoke hearts and spinach.
- Transfer the dip to a small baking dish, smooth the top, and then bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, until it is hot and bubbling.
- Serve the dip with toasted baguette slices and crackers on the side.
