Ingredients you need for this dreamy easy artichoke spinach dip

Fresh Spinach: We are using fresh baby spinach here, but you CAN opt to use frozen spinach, just ensure the moisture and any excess liquid it removed from it after you warm it through before mixing with all the other ingredients. The spinach is being wilted down with shallots and then we’ll stir with all the below ingredients.

Artichoke hearts: Canned artichokes are roughly chopped and tossed with the spinach, cheese and sour cream with cream cheese. Tossed with fresh garlic and hot sauce.

Sour cream and cream cheese: I love the tang and creamy aspect of including sour cream here! You CAN opt to use mayonnaise or greek yogurt as well, here, or you can do a mix of both. We are also tossing in with room temperature cream cheese, which also gives this amazing tang, creaminess and flavor!

Extra-virgin olive oil: We are using olive oil here as the base with shallots and spinach. You can opt to use butter here, but I do find with all the richness coming from the cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, etc. Using olive oil over butter does help with any excess oils too, making this a little more balanced with the olive oil (in my opinion!)

Cheese: For this dip, we are using a mixture of both mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese. But you can use anything you love the most, such as sharp yellow cheddar, or even gouda can be fun here!

In a large cast iron or non stick skillet that is able to go in the oven, heat a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil on medium-high heat.
