Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip
This Hot Spinach Artichoke Dip is one of those recipes I’ve been making for so long, I don’t even need to look at the directions anymore. A twist on my Hot Spinach Dip, it’s the dip I bring when I don’t want to think too hard but still want something I know everyone will love. I’ve made it for game days, holidays, family get-togethers, and plenty of casual nights with friends.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything you need to make this hot, cheesy dip. See recipe card below for measurements.
- Canned Artichoke Hearts in Water: Drain one can of artichoke hearts.
- Spinach: Thaw one 10-ounce package of frozen spinach and squeeze out all the liquid. If you want to use fresh spinach, steam it first and then squeeze it.
- Shallots: You can use red onion if you prefer.
- Garlic: Peel one clove of garlic.
- Greek Yogurt: I use 0% yogurt but you can use any percentage.
- Light Mayo: I know some of you don’t like mayonnaise, but I promise you can’t taste it. I highly recommend using it, but if you would rather not, sub light sour cream instead.
- Parmesan: Grate a good-quality parmesan, or swap it for Pecorino Romano, which is usually a little cheaper.
- Mozzarella: To make it cheesy and melty.
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
How to Make Spinach Artichoke Dip
- Food Processor: Coarsely chop the artichokes, garlic, and shallots in a food processor.
- Combine the remaining ingredients with the artichoke mixture.
- Bake: Put the spinach dip in an oven-proof dish and bake at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes.
How I Like to Serve It
I always put out a variety of dippers when I serve dip at a party and include veggies for a low-carb option. It works as part of a bigger appetizer spread or on its own — either way, it never lasts long.
- Chips: Pita, tortilla, or bagel chips
- Crackers: gluten-free rice crackers, or whole grain
- Veggies: Carrots, mini bell peppers, celery, cucumber
- Toasted Sliced Baguette
Make-Ahead & Leftovers
- I often assemble this earlier in the day, cover it, and bake it right before serving.
- Leftovers (if there are any) keep well in the fridge for a 3 to 4 days and reheat beautifully.
A Few Things I’ve Learned Over the Years
After making this more times than I can count, here’s what really makes the difference:
- I always squeeze the spinach really well — any extra moisture makes the dip loose.
- I chop the artichokes small so every scoop gets a little bit of everything.
- I bake it until it’s bubbling around the edges and just golden on top — that’s when you know it’s ready. If you bake it too long, the cheese will get hard.
