A quick and easy creamy spinach artichoke dip topped with a crispy parmesan crust, perfect for parties and casual snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped and wilted
  • 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (90g) for topping
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (45g) mixed into dip
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wilt the spinach by heating it in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or microwave covered for 2 minutes, then drain excess liquid thoroughly.
  3. Drain and chop the artichoke hearts into bite-sized pieces, ensuring no excess liquid remains.
  4. In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Fold in shredded mozzarella, half of the Parmesan cheese, wilted spinach, and chopped artichokes. Mix gently but thoroughly.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly in an 8×8-inch baking dish, smoothing the top.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the surface to form the crispy crust.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbling. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil after 15 minutes.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Drain spinach and artichokes thoroughly to avoid a watery dip. Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best crispy crust. If the top browns too fast, tent with foil after 15 minutes. Can be made ahead and baked just before serving. Reheat in oven to maintain crust crispiness; avoid microwaving.
