Equipment

9-inch round ceramic dish (9-inch pie plate with high sides will work, or a 2-quart casserole dish)

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese very well softened
⅓ to ½ cup sour cream
⅓ cup mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic finely minced or pressed
1 ½ cups finely shredded mozzarella cheese divided
¾ cup finely shredded parmesan cheese divided
¾ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
15 ounce can artichoke hearts, packed in water drained, and quartered,
8 to 12 ounces frozen spinach thawed, squeezed extremely well to release the water

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F, spray a 2-quart casserole dish, high-sided 9-inch pie dish, 9x9-inch pan, or similar-sized casserole dish or baking pan with cooking spray; set aside.
To a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese*, sour cream (add 1/2 cup if you like it creamier), mayo, garlic, and beat with a handheld electric mixer on high speed until well combined.
Add 1 cup mozzarella, 1/2 cup Parmesan, salt, pepper, and stir to combine.
Add the artichokes, spinach (add the higher end of the range if you like the spinach to be more noticeable)*, and stir to combine.
Turn the mixture out into the prepared baking dish, evenly sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella and the 1/4 cup Parmesan.
Bake for about 30 minutes. Start checking at 20 minutes since all ovens bake differently. Depending on how golden browned you like the top, you may have to bake it approximately 35 minutes, but bake to your taste and preferences.
Serve immediately.

Notes

Tips:

Cream cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is very well softened to room temp so that it blends well with the sour cream and mayo.
Spinach: Make sure that you wring out the spinach really well. You will drench many sheets of paper towels and the amount or volume of spinach will appear dramatically reduced. This is necessary so that your dip isn't watery or soupy.

Storage: Dip is best served warm and freshly made. Leftovers will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days and can be gently reheated in the microwave, or served as a cold spinach artichoke dip (nice in the summer).
