Dip Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 can (14 ounces) water-packed artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Assorted crackers, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
  2. Mix the base ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, dried basil, garlic salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended into a smooth mixture.
  3. Add the vegetables: Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and thawed, well-drained spinach into the cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the dip.
  4. Prepare for baking: Transfer the mixture to a greased 9-inch pie plate, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top evenly to create a nice cheesy crust.
  5. Bake the dip: Place the pie plate in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the edges turn lightly browned.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and serve hot with assorted crackers for dipping, making it a perfect appetizer for any occasion.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze excess moisture from the thawed spinach to avoid a watery dip.
  • This dip can be prepared a day ahead and baked just before serving.
  • Artichoke hearts can be canned or jarred packed in water; avoid those in oil to control fat content.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute mayonnaise with sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • To keep the dip warm longer during serving, use a small warming tray or slow cooker on low heat.
