Creamy mixture of French onion dip, spinach, and artichokes baked with cheese for a tasty warm spread.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Dairy and Cheese

01 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
02 - ⅓ cup French onion dip
03 - ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

→ Vegetables

05 - 4 ounces fresh spinach leaves
06 - ½ cup marinated artichoke hearts, coarsely chopped
07 - ½ teaspoon garlic, minced

→ Seasoning

08 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

→ Accompaniments

09 - Sliced bread, crackers, or vegetables for dipping

→ Others

10 - Cooking spray
11 - 2 tablespoons water for sautéing

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Sauté spinach with 2 tablespoons of water over medium heat until wilted. Remove from heat, let cool, then squeeze out excess moisture and coarsely chop.
02 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet with cooking spray.
03 - In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, French onion dip, wilted spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, black pepper, grated Parmesan, and half of the shredded mozzarella. Stir until evenly incorporated.
04 - Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish. Sprinkle remaining shredded mozzarella evenly on top.
05 - Bake for 15 minutes or until bubbling and cheese is melted. Switch oven to broil and cook 2–3 more minutes until cheese is lightly browned.
06 - Remove from oven and serve immediately with sliced bread, crackers, or vegetables for dipping.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Squeezing the spinach thoroughly after cooking prevents excess moisture from thinning the dip.
