Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth.
Add the chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Fold in the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese, reserving a small amount for topping.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the dip is bubbly and the top is golden brown. Serve warm with bread, crackers, or chips.
Chef's Tips
- Make Ahead: Prepare the dip a day in advance and refrigerate. Bake just before serving.
- Extra Creamy: For a smoother texture, blend half the dip before baking.
- Spice It Up: Add extra red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a spicier kick.
- Dipping Options: Serve with toasted baguette slices, tortilla chips, or vegetable sticks.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
