Ingredients

• 16 oz Frozen spinach
• 14 oz Canned artichoke hearts
• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3 cloves Minced garlic
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 tsp Paprika (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil and set it aside.

Step 2

Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

Step 3

Drain and roughly chop the canned artichoke hearts.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Fold the thawed spinach and chopped artichoke hearts into the cheese mixture until evenly coated.

Step 6

Transfer the spinach and artichoke mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with a drizzle of olive oil until crumbs are lightly coated. Sprinkle evenly over the casserole. Optionally, sprinkle paprika on top for added flavor and color.

Step 8

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until it is bubbling around the edges and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish, dip, or even a vegetarian main course. Pair with crusty bread or fresh vegetables!
