Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Add the flavor: Fold in the chopped artichoke hearts, spinach, garlic, mozzarella, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and optional spices.
- Bake: Transfer the mixture to a small baking dish. Smooth the top and sprinkle with extra cheese if desired. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
- Serve hot: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm with toasted bread, chips, or sliced veggies.
Hosting Tips
- Prep Ahead: Assemble the dip the day before, cover, and refrigerate. Pop it in the oven just before serving.
- Keep It Warm: Use a small slow cooker or warming tray if your party runs long.
- Pair It Right: Offer a variety of dippers — crusty bread for the classic fans, carrot sticks and bell pepper slices for the health-conscious, and tortilla chips for the crunch lovers.
- Make It Fancy: Sprinkle with fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) right before serving for a touch of color and freshness.
Other Party-Worthy Variations
- Buffalo Chicken Dip: Add shredded rotisserie chicken, hot sauce, and blue cheese.
