Baked Spinach and Artichoke Dip!! I’m back with another delicious recipe for the holidays! Let’s make my Baked Spinach and Artichoke Dip. This is my most requested recipe over the holidays! You have to try this! This is a slightly lighter version and I use fresh baby spinach.
Hello friends! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We had a full house and such a wonderful time with my family. I know many of us are gathering together with friends and family this holiday season and so I have to share my most requested holiday appetizer: my Baked Spinach and Artichoke Dip! I made a huge batch of this for Thanksgiving and my family devoured this in under an hour.
BAKED SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP
There’s something about melted cheese and the slight tanginess and flavor from artichoke hearts, the creaminess from the sour cream and mayonnaise that brings this lovely dish together! All baked to perfection, I think this is the perfect holiday appetizer. Every year, I make this over the holidays and it’s devoured within 30 minutes.
I don’t add cream cheese and I like to add walnuts and crispy bacon bits for flavor and texture. I also love using fresh baby spinach instead of frozen spinach. I feel like I’m getting more of the vitamins and nutrients from spinach this way. I also like a chunky version of this but feel free to chop everything up as much as you like! Serve this with crusty bread, crackers, tortilla chips, pita chips or whatever you want. It’s even nice to add some fresh vegetables to munch on on the side. How do you make your baked spinach and artichoke dip? Let me know below!

Baked Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Equipment
- Suggested equipment: 8 x 10 baking dish
Ingredients
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese + more for topping if desired
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise + more if needed
- 3 cups Petite Artichoke Hearts* canned or jarred, coarsely chopped

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Using a large mixing bowl, combine everything from the shredded mozzarella cheese to the walnuts and mix well. Spread evenly into your baking dish and sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the top. Alternatively, you can sprinkle on a blend of parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake, uncovered, for about 20 to 25 minutes, until cooked through. If wanting to get some nice browning on the top, switch to the broiler setting for 2 to 3 minutes only at the very end. Serve with bread, crackers, chips and/or raw veggies. Serve while warm and enjoy!
