Spinach Artichoke Dip
Description
This dip merges a creamy blend of cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise flavoured with garlic as a foundation. Adding shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, and gruyere cheeses creates a smooth, richly cheesy texture and sharpness. The inclusion of defrosted, well-drained spinach and chopped marinated artichoke hearts introduces tender vegetable components that balance the richness and add subtle flavor complexity.
Once combined, the mixture is baked until the surface becomes hot, bubbly, and lightly browned. A quick finish under higher heat enhances the top with slight browning and texture contrast. Served warm, this dip suits occasions where a comforting and dense cheese dip is desired, great for pairing with crackers, fresh bread, or vegetable sticks.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ⅔ cup sour cream
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese divided, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese fresh shredded
- ½ cup gruyere cheese shredded
- 10 oz spinach defrosted & squeezed dry, frozen
- 14 oz artichoke hearts chopped, marinated
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Whip the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and minced garlic in a large bowl with a mixer until creamy.
- Add 1 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix everything with a spatula until well combined.
- Spread the dip evenly in a baking dish, and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes. Move the dip to the top rack and bake at 450 F for 1-2 minutes. Watch it closely, as it can burn quickly.
- Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days.
