How to Make Homemade Artichoke and Spinach Dip
To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1/3 c mayonnaise, 1/2 c parmesan cheese, 1 clove of minced garlic, and some fresh ground black pepper.
Add in 8 ounces of Neufchatel cheese (or regular cream cheese) room temperature. Mix it all together.
Rinse and squeeze dry a cup of shredded spinach, fresh or frozen.
Add it to the bowl.
Then grab a small jar (about 6.5 oz) of artichoke hearts that are marinated in olive oil. Drain the oil and then give them a rough chop.
Toss that in the bowl as well and then shred some mozzarella cheese, about a cup.
Toss half of it in the bowl and stir everything together.
Spread the mixture into a small baking dish that has been lightly oiled or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Top it with the remaining cheese.
Pop it into your oven and bake it for 15-20 minutes, or until everything is gooey, bubbly, and beginning to get golden around the edges. Let it cool 5 minutes and enjoy it with bread, crackers, chips, or whatever your heart desires.
Enjoy!

Yum!
I have made this recipe a few times and every time it is a hit. The last time, I added a little extra high quality parmesan. It gave it a little extra zip. It goes great with homemade toasted garlic pita chips.
Will try your recipe now! I have so many variations of this recipe. The more, the merrier!
