Ingredients
Scale
Dip Base
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper
Vegetables & Cheese
- 1/2 large onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
- 12 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided (about 3 cups)
- 4 ounces parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup)
- 14 ounce artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (one can)
- 6 ounces fresh spinach, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C) to prepare for baking the dip.
- Mix Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and ground pepper. Stir until smooth and well incorporated. Then, fold in the finely chopped onions.
- Add Cheese: Stir in 2 cups of the shredded mozzarella and all the grated parmesan cheese to the mixture until evenly combined.
- Fold in Veggies: Gently fold in the chopped fresh spinach and chopped artichoke hearts ensuring everything is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
- Assemble Dip: Spread the dip mixture evenly into a 2-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top for a golden bubbly crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the edges are bubbling and the cheese on top is starting to turn golden brown.
- Rest and Serve: Let the dip sit for 10-15 minutes after baking to thicken slightly. Serve warm with sliced baguette, chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
- Use fresh mozzarella for a creamier texture, but shredded pre-packaged works well for convenience.
- The dip can be prepared a day ahead; simply cover and refrigerate before baking.
- Great for entertaining and pairs well with a variety of dippers like pita chips, crackers, or crudités.
