Ingredients
- ½ cup sour cream
- 14 oz can artichoke hearts drained and finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ cup frozen spinach thawed and thoroughly drained
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup loosely packed freshly shredded parmesan cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, cream cheese, spinach, artichoke hearts, garlic, and ¾ cup of the parmesan cheese. Mix until a creamy, even texture is achieved. Transfer the mixture into a lightly greased baking dish—an 8×8-inch pan or similar-sized dish, such as a glass pie plate, will suffice. Evenly sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of parmesan cheese across the top. Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbling throughout. Serve immediately with your choice of crackers or sliced bread.
Notes
Make Ahead: Prepare up to the point before baking, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Freezing: Assemble the dip and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
Variations: With Fresh Spinach: Sauté 10 oz fresh spinach in a touch of olive oil until wilted, cool, and squeeze out excess moisture before using. Healthier Version: Use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream and opt for low-fat cream cheese. Slow Cooker Method: Combine all ingredients in a crockpot and cook on high for 2 hours, stirring before serving. Without Spinach: Use an artichoke-only dip recipe as desired.
