Ingredients

Scale

Dip Base

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/2 large onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)

Cheese

  • 12 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided (about 3 cups)
  • 4 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup)

Vegetables

  • 14 ounces artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (one can)
  • 6 ounces fresh spinach, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350˚F (175˚C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the dip evenly.
  2. Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir these ingredients until thoroughly blended. Then, incorporate the finely chopped onions into this creamy mixture.
  3. Add cheese: Stir in 2 cups of the shredded mozzarella cheese along with all of the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well to distribute the cheese evenly throughout the base.
  4. Fold in vegetables: Gently fold in the chopped fresh spinach and the drained, chopped artichoke hearts. Make sure all ingredients are evenly coated and combined without crushing the vegetables.
  5. Assemble the dip: Spread the mixture evenly into a 2-quart casserole dish. Then sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top to create a cheesy crust.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the cheese topping is golden brown.
  7. Rest and serve: Allow the dip to sit for 10-15 minutes after baking to set slightly. Serve warm with sliced baguette, chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the seasonings.
  • Fresh spinach can be sautéed briefly before folding in to reduce moisture if preferred.
  • This dip can be prepared a day ahead and baked just before serving.
  • Use gluten-free chips or bread to make the dish gluten-free friendly.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated.
