Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350. Mix all ingredients in an oven-safe bowl, saving some parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top. (I use a small dutch oven from Williams Sonoma.) Bake, covered, for 30 minutes, or until golden brown
Tips:
- Fresh ingredients: Use fresh spinach and artichoke hearts for the best flavor. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out excess water before using.
- Quality cheese: Use a good quality Parmesan cheese and cream cheese. Freshly grated Parmesan will provide the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach should be wilted but still retain its bright green color. Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: Garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes are classic additions to spinach artichoke dip, but you can also add other herbs and spices to your taste. Try adding a pinch of nutmeg, cayenne pepper, or dried oregano.
- Serve immediately: Spinach artichoke dip is best served warm and fresh out of the oven. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat it in a preheated oven until warmed through.
