Easy Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip Extra Creamy!
If you’re looking for a warm, creamy, cheesy appetizer that disappears the moment it hits the table, this Easy Spinach Artichoke Dip is the one everyone will come back to again and again. It’s rich, gooey, and packed with flavor – yet simple enough to whip together in minutes with everyday ingredients. Whether you’re hosting a holiday gathering, a game day spread, or just craving something cozy on a weeknight, this dip delivers every time!
Softened cream cheese creates the velvety base, sour cream and mayo add tang and richness, and two cheeses melt into a bubbly, golden top that’s impossible to resist. Spinach brings color and texture, while marinated artichokes add brightness that cuts through the creaminess. It’s the perfect balance of indulgent and savory – and it’s always a crowd pleaser!
Why this Recipe Works:
- Mozzarella Gives that Gooey, Stretchy Pull – It melts beautifully and makes every bite feel indulgent.
- Parmesan Sharpens the Flavor – It’s salty, nutty bite balances the richness and adds savory complexity.
- Everything Bakes Into a Bubbly, Golden Top – The oven transforms the cheeses into a hot, melty, irresistible layer every loves!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 (8 oz) Cream Cheese (Softened) – Creates the rich, creamy base that makes the dip thick, smooth, and indulgent.
- 1 cup Sour Cream – Adds tang and keeps the dip soft, scoopable, and ultra creamy.
- 1/3 cup Mayonnaise – Brings extra richness and helps the dip stay velvety when baked.
- 3 Garlic Cloves (Pressed) – Adds warm, aromatic depth that brightens the cheesy base.
- 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese (Shredded) – Melts into a stretchy, gooey layer throughout the dip.
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (Grated) – Adds salty, nutty sharpness that deepens the overall flavor.
- 10 oz Spinach (Chopped) – Gives color, texture, and that classic savory spinach flavor.
- 10 oz Marinated Artichoke Hearts (Drained & Chopped) – Tender, briny, and perfectly balanced against the creamy, cheesy richness.
How to Make Easy Spinach Artichoke Dip
NOTE: This dip pairs perfectly with Homemade Artisan Bread.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place 1 (8 oz) softened cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, and 1/3 cup mayonnaise in a medium size bowl. Add in 3 pressed garlic cloves and stir to combine well.
- Add in 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, 10 oz chopped spinach, and 10 oz drained and chopped marinated artichoke hearts. Stir to combine.
- Spread evenly into a cast iron skillet. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is slightly bubbly and browned.
My Best Tips:
- Press the Garlic Instead of Mincing – It melts into the dip and gives better flavor distribution.
- Shred Your Own Mozzarella – Freshly shredded melts smoother than bagged chees with anti-caking agents.
- Bake Until Bubbly and Golden – The edges should be lightly browned for the best flavor and texture.
- Let it Rest 5 Minutes Before Serving – This helps the dip thicken and makes scooping easier.
- Serve With Sturdy Dippers – Baguette slices, pita chips, thick tortilla chips, or Homemade Artisan Bread slices hold up best.
- Great for Parties – Keep it warm in a small slow cooker for easy serving.
