Ingredients
- 8 oz (1 brick) cream cheese, softened
- 56 g (1/4 cup) mayonnaise
- 115 g (1/2 cup) sour cream (may sub for plain Greek yogurt)
- 16 oz frozen spinach, thawed
- 8 1/2 oz artichoke hearts, roughly chopped
- 4 oz (1 cup) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 oz (1 cup) Gruyere cheese, shredded
- 1 1/2 oz (1/2 cup) Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated
- 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp ground mustard
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (see notes if intolerant)
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit / 190 degrees Celcius.
- Place the thawed spinach in a strainer and press it with the back of a spoon or with clean hands to squeeze out excess liquid over the sink or into a bowl. If you don’t have a strainer you can also use cheesecloth to strain the spinach. Add the spinach to 3 or more layers of cheesecloth and twist the end squeeze to remove excess liquid. Once drained, roughly chop it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Using a sturdy spatula, fold the ingredients together until well combined.
- Using a silicone spatula, transfer the mixture to a 2-quart baking dish.
- Bake on the upper third rack of the oven for 25 minutes or until the top begins to turn lightly golden brown in spots.
- Serve warm with sliced baguette, chips, or veggies.
