 Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe

Dips are a fantastic party appetizer for a crowd and spinach artichoke dip is a classic fan favorite dish you can’t go wrong with. One of the reasons it likely became so popular is that the spinach and artichoke ingredients make people often question, “Is Spinach Artichoke Dip healthy?” We wish the answer to this question was yes, but no, it isn’t any healthier than any other pile of melted cheese.

We make it even better.

This version pumps up the Parmesan flavor, uses fresh garlic instead of powdered and we skip the mayonnaise all together in favor of sour cream. Spinach Artichoke dip with no mayo is a great flavorful version.

The sour cream brings a tangy flavor while keeping enough fat content in the recipe to keep it from breaking the melted cheese sauce. Please don’t replace the sour greek with fat free greek yogurt and think the consistency will be the same.

How to Make Spinach Artichoke Cheese Dip:

• Pre-heat: This dip is quick but being prepared will make it go faster, so be sure the oven is set to 350 degrees.
• Drain Well: While this dip is easy, there is one very important step you CAN NOT skip. Make sure your spinach is drained well and remove as much liquid as possible.
• Mix Well: In a large bowl add all the ingredients except 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese together until well mixed. Make sure the spinach is not left in clumps or it will have pockets of pure spinach that isn’t great for dipping.
• Pour: Pour into an oven safe pie plate or skillet, you can also use a regular baking dish or even use mini soufflé dishes for more individual servings.
• Bake: Top with mozzarella cheese for an even more delicious cheesy layer and bake for 20-25 minutes. You want to see all the cheese melted and bubbly before removing from the oven. You don’t need to look for browning.

• Store: Once the soup has cooled, you can store it in the fridge. Kept in an airtight container it will stay good for 3-4 days.
• Freeze:  We don’t recommend freezing this dip as it contains sour cream which can break the sauce when unfrozen. Even if you use mayonnaise it will also break the cheese sauce upon defrosting.
