There’s something magical about warm, cheesy spinach artichoke dip. It’s versatile, crowd-pleasing, and tastes amazing with crisp crackers or fresh bread. Whether you’re hosting family game night or simply cozying up at home, this creamy dip will be the highlight of any gathering.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces of spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)
- 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for topping)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about five minutes, or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, letting it cook for just a minute so it doesn’t burn. Combine the chopped spinach and artichoke hearts with the onions and garlic, and stir everything together until the mixture is warmed through.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if desired) until smooth. Fold in the warm spinach-artichoke mixture. Spread the dip into an oven-safe baking dish and sprinkle a bit of extra Parmesan on top to create a bubbly, golden crust.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and the cheese on top is lightly browned. Serve immediately with toasted bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
This recipe is perfect for anyone who loves a rich, comforting appetizer that can be easily tailored to different tastes. Feel free to swap in Greek yogurt for the sour cream, or even add a touch of chopped jalapeños for extra heat. For a lighter version, use light cream cheese and reduced-fat sour cream. However you choose to make it, this creamy spinach and artichoke dip will leave everyone happy, satisfied, and ready to dig in at your next gathering.
