A creamy and flavorful dip perfect for gatherings, combining spinach, artichokes, and a blend of cheeses.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture for your dip.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella, sour cream, grated Parmesan, black pepper, minced garlic, chopped artichoke hearts, reduced-fat cream cheese, and thawed spinach.
Ensure the spinach is well-drained to avoid a watery dip.
Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Use a spoon or spatula to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Using a spatula can help achieve a smooth surface.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
This creates a golden, cheesy crust when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the dip during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.
Serve warm with tortilla chips or pita bread.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
