Ingredients for the Cheesy Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip

The magic of this dip comes from its blend of creamy, cheesy goodness and the earthy brightness of spinach and artichokes. You’ll want to use quality ingredients since each one plays a role in the final flavor.

• Cream cheese
• Sour cream
• Mayonnaise
• Shredded mozzarella cheese
• Grated Parmesan cheese
• Chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, well-drained)
• Canned artichoke hearts (chopped)
• Garlic (minced)
• Salt and pepper

How To Make the Cheesy Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip

Step 1: Soften and Mix the Base

Start by letting the cream cheese soften to room temperature for easy mixing. In a large bowl, blend it with sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.

Step 2: Add the Flavor

Fold in the garlic, chopped spinach, and chopped artichokes. Make sure the spinach is well-drained to avoid excess moisture.

Step 3: Get Cheesy

Stir in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until everything is evenly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Bake to Perfection

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and smooth out the top. Bake at 375°F for 20–25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly with golden edges.

Step 5: Serve Warm

Let it cool just slightly before serving with your favorite dippers like pita chips, baguette slices, or fresh veggies.

How to Serve and Store Your Dip

This recipe feeds about 6 to 8 people as an appetizer, though don’t be surprised if it’s gone before everyone gets seconds! It’s best served straight from the oven while still warm and gooey, but leftovers (if you have any) can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
