Creamy Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Our creamy spinach and artichoke dip is made with 6 main ingredients for delicious and easy restaurant style flavor in under 30 minutes. It's the perfect party appetizer or game day snack!
Ingredients
- 4 ounces light cream cheese
- 1 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 14 oz canned artichoke hearts roughly chopped
- 1½ teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 5 ounces baby spinach
Instructions
- Add the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan, artichoke hearts, garlic, salt, and pepper to a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir to combine and cook until the cream cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the spinach to the saucepan in batches, if needed, and cover. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes, then stir well to combine.
- Once all the spinach has been incorporated, stir well and serve hot with pita chips, bread, crostini, or fresh veggies for dipping. Enjoy!
Notes
Spinach: If you want to use larger spinach leaves, tear them into smaller pieces before adding to the saucepan. They'll incorporate better and it'll be much easier to eat the dip.
Serving suggestions: We love serving spinach and artichoke dip with Stacy's pita chips. But it also goes great with crostini, fresh bread, tortilla chips, pretzels, or veggies like carrots and celery.
Prep ahead and reheat instructions: If you're making this for a party, it's easy to prep ahead of time and reheat! Simply transfer the dip to a small oven-safe dish and bake at 350 degrees until warmed through, stirring occasionally. If you're reheating from room temp, it will only take about 15 to 20 minutes. But if you need to prepare this dip well in advance, refrigerate until ready to reheat and then bake for about 30 to 40 minutes before serving!
Slow cooker method: Alternatively, you can prepare this dip in a slow cooker or crockpot. This works especially well if you're making a larger batch and have a few extra hours to prepare. Simply combine all the ingredients in a slow cooker, cover, and cook on HIGH for about 2 to 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes or so to help things combine.
