Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup grated Romano cheese
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- ½ cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
How To Make Spinach Artichoke Dip?
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a small baking dish.
- Mix the base: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, minced garlic, dried basil, garlic salt, salt, and pepper.
- Add the vegetables: Gently fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and drained spinach until evenly mixed.
- Transfer to a baking dish: Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake until golden: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned.
- Serve and enjoy: Let cool slightly before serving with toasted bread, crackers, or fresh veggies.
Recipe Tips:
- Use room temperature cream cheese : This makes mixing easier and ensures a smooth, creamy dip without lumps.
- Drain spinach and artichokes well : Too much moisture can make the dip watery. Squeeze out any excess liquid for the best texture.
- Grate your own cheese : Pre-shredded cheese has additives that prevent melting properly. Freshly grated cheese makes the dip extra gooey and delicious.
- Bake until golden and bubbly : For the best flavor and texture, let the top turn slightly golden brown before removing from the oven.
- Customize with extra flavors : Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for spice, or mix in cooked bacon for a smoky twist.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the leftover Spinach Artichoke Dip cool to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Transfer a portion to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until evenly warmed.
