Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Hand mixer
Spatula
Cast iron skillet or Baking Dish

Ingredients

20 ounces frozen spinach thawed and chopped
7 ounces artichoke hearts in water, drained and chopped
8 ounces cream cheese softened
1 ½ cups grated parmesan cheese divided
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
½ cup mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
1 Tablespoon butter melted
½ cup heavy whipping cream
fresh cracked pepper to taste
dash of cayenne pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Set aside ½ cup of parmesan cheese to the side for the end.
In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, 1 cup of parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Use a hand-mixer if needed to combine well.
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine well.
Spoon the mixture into a cast iron skillet or baking dish.
Sprinkle on the remaining parmesan cheese to the top before baking.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until bubbly.
Turn the oven on broil at the very end of baking for just a few minutes to brown the top. Keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't burn!
Serve with pita chips, tortilla chips or toasted baguettes.

Notes

You can substitute the plain spinach for creamed spinach, just omit the heavy whipping cream if you do.
If you don't have frozen spinach, you can use fresh. Just boil some water in a pot in the stove and add the spinach. When wilted, drain the spinach and press the water out. You will need roughly 16 ounces of fresh spinach to get 1 cup of cooked spinach. So, you'll need roughly 32 ounces of fresh spinach for this recipe.
To store any leftover spinach artichoke dip, let it cool down completely before transferring it into an air-tight container. It will last in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
