Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream or whole milk Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed very dry
- 14 oz can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 1 1/2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese (divided)
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt & 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Warm tortilla chips or toasted baguette slices for dipping
Directions
1
Preheat and prepare dish
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe baking dish.
2
Blend the creamy base
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth and lump-free.
3
Fold in greens and cheese
Fold in the thoroughly dried spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, 1 cup of mozzarella, and half the grated parmesan until evenly distributed.
4
Bake until bubbling
Spread the mixture into the prepared skillet. Top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan. Bake for 20 minutes until bubbling around the edges and lightly golden on top.
💡 CHEF'S PRO TIPS
- Squeeze out as much liquid from the spinach as possible using a clean dish towel to prevent watery dip.
- Broil on high for the final 2 minutes for a deeply browned, bubbly crust.

This has completely replaced my normal avocado toast! The beans blend so well you cannot even tell, and I stay full until lunchtime!

Great trick for adding protein without cooking eggs on busy mornings. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes and lemon zest—delicious.
