A warm, cheesy, and comforting spinach artichoke dip that is quick and easy to prepare, perfect for last-minute snacks or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 14 oz can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup small-curd cottage cheese, drained
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Drain the spinach well by pressing it in a sieve or squeezing in a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Chop the artichoke hearts into small pieces.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes using an electric mixer).
  5. Add the cottage cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix until well combined and creamy.
  6. Fold in the drained spinach, chopped artichokes, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir gently to combine everything evenly.
  7. Transfer the mixture to your prepared oven-safe baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the dip is bubbly and golden on top.
  9. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Squeeze out excess moisture from spinach to prevent watery dip. Beat cream cheese until smooth for best texture. For extra melty top, add more mozzarella 5 minutes before baking ends. Can prepare ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. Use dairy-free cheese and vegan mayo for dairy-free version. Serve warm with chips, bread, or veggies.
