Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe
Most people would make this an appetizer, I made it a meal! Full of cream cheese, fresh spinach, artichoke hearts, mayonnaise, garlic, herbs and seasonings topped with more parmesan cheese. Thirty minutes in the oven and it’s ready to eat.
Spray an 8” oven safe dish with cooking oil.
Put spinach into a large bowl, cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
Let the spinach cool just until you can hold it. Squeeze small sections at a time to remove and discard the extra liquid then coarsely chop the spinach.
In a large bowl add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, basil, thyme, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes.
Using the back of a spoon cream the ingredients until well blended.
Stir in the chopped spinach, chopped artichokes and 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Spread into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the top with 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in a preheated 350º oven for 30 minutes or until the top starts to get golden brown. Mine wasn’t browning so I put the dish under the broiler just until a hint of brown showed. Serve hot with bread, tortillas or crackers.

That looks delicious. Anything with spinach and cheese is a winner for me. Definitely make it a meal or a snack shared with a group of friends playing a game of cards!
Thank you Ab!
We always order this as an appetizer when we go out, now I can try to make it. Thanks, Diane.
It is so easy, let me know what you think.
I LOVE spinach dip but haven’t had it with artichokes so I’m gonna try this one!
I hope you love it as much as I do, enjoy!
Yum – one of my favorite dips!
Thank you, the perfect party dip or in my case meal. Lol
That looks very tasty Diane – I would eat it as a meal too! I have never had artichoke hearts. I would have double dipping bread instead.
My first time having it was at a Christmas party years ago. It was a delicious meal! Thank you Linda.
I love spinach artichoke dip! I would never have thought to attempt it myself. Costco does a great job. 😛 But maybe I will!
But you don’t know what Costco puts in theirs, it’s probably good for 2 months. Lol
I’m ready to dip into deliciousness!
Thank you Mary! I will definitely be making it again.
This looks great. Have you ever made it with marinated artichoke hearts?
No I haven’t! My husband buys groceries, I hate shopping, so I will tell him to see if he can find me a jar. Thank you Linda!
