Servings: 8 servings

8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream
1 cup grated mozzarella plus extra for topping
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese plus extra for topping
1 clove garlic finely minced
14 ounces can artichoke hearts well drained, excess liquid squeezed out and roughly chopped
1/2 cup frozen spinach thawed, well drained and excess liquid squeezed out
1 pinch red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper (optional)
1 each zest of one lemon (optional)

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for your dip.
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Use a spatula to mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Stir in the grated mozzarella and parmesan cheese, followed by the minced garlic. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Gently fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and thawed spinach, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
If you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle in a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne for a bit of heat. You can also add the lemon zest for a bright, fresh flavor.
Spoon the mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly with your spatula.
Sprinkle extra mozzarella and parmesan on top for that deliciously gooey, golden crust.
Place your baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and golden on top.
Once baked, allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite dippers like tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh veggies.
