How to Make Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip
The following is a brief overview; please see the recipe card for full, detailed instructions and ingredient amounts.
- Stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, and garlic in a large bowl until combined.
- Add mozzarella, Parmesan, spinach, and artichokes. Stir again until combined.
- Transfer to a baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake until heated through and bubbling around the edges.
Helpful Tips
- To prevent your dip from being watery, ensure that your thawed spinach is thoroughly squeezed of excess water (use a paper towel if necessary). Also, be sure to drain your canned artichokes well before chopping.
- Shred your own mozzarella and Parmesan cheese from a block. Preshredded cheese often contains additives that prevent it from melting as well as freshly shredded cheese.
- Add heat: Add crushed red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce.
- Make-ahead: Combine the mixture as instructed, transfer to a baking dish, cover tightly, and refrigerate overnight. Remove from the fridge about 30 minutes before baking. Bake (uncovered) as directed.
Storage and Reheating
- Storage: Once cooled, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheating:
- Microwave: Cover loosely with a damp paper towel and microwave in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between.
- Oven: Reheat in an oven-safe dish at 350°F until heated through.
