A creamy, cheesy spinach and artichoke dip with a crispy golden panko and Parmesan topping, perfect for parties and cozy nights in.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach, chopped and cooked (frozen works too, squeezed dry)
  • 14 ounces canned or jarred artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, full fat preferred
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add chopped fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water before adding. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise (if using). Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add onion powder, salt, and pepper to the creamy base and mix well.
  6. Stir in grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, cooked spinach, and chopped artichoke hearts until evenly distributed. If mixture is too stiff, add a splash of milk or cream.
  7. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  8. In a small bowl, toss panko breadcrumbs with olive oil or melted butter and a bit of Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle evenly over the dip.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the topping is golden and crispy and the dip is bubbling around the edges. Watch closely after 20 minutes to prevent burning.
  10. Let the dip rest for about 5 minutes before serving to set.

Notes

Sauté fresh spinach to remove excess moisture and keep dip creamy. Use room temperature cream cheese for smooth blending. If topping browns too quickly, tent with foil. For vegan or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients accordingly. Leftovers reheat best in oven covered with foil to preserve topping crispness.
