An easy spinach artichoke dip is super creamy without any mayo! It's the first appetizer finished every time, and I think that says it all!

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¾ cup mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese grated, not powdered
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 14 ounces canned artichoke hearts drained and chopped
  • 1 ½ cups frozen spinach thawed and liquid squeezed out

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and red pepper flakes. Add the chopped artichoke and spinach and mix to combine.
  • Place the artichoke dip in a serving casserole and bake for 20 minutes, uncovered. The dip should be hot throughout.
  • Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes prior to serving.

Notes

  • Replace sour cream with Greek yogurt for a healthier option. You can also use half sour cream and half Greek yogurt instead, too
  • This version does not contain any mayo in it
  • Squeeze out the spinach to get all the excess water in it. This will make sure the artichoke dip stays creamy and does not get watery
  • If you like a spicy kick, double the red pepper flakes
  • The mozzarella adds a nice creaminess with stringiness, so the cheese pulls
  • The Parmesan cheese adds a bit more sharpness and flavor to the dip. Do not buy pre-shredded Parmesan cheese in a bag. It usually doesn’t have any flavor. If you need to buy pre-shredded, get the kind near the bakery, but a Parmesan cheese wedge will give the most flavor.
