Ingredients
  

For the Dip
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Adds richness and creaminess; substitute with Neufchâtel for a lighter option.
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese Provides savory depth; can use Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Contributes creaminess and moisture; swap with Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Adds aromatic flavor; use garlic powder if fresh isn't available.
  • 1 tsp Dried Basil Imparts herbal essence; fresh basil can be used, but reduce the quantity.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Salt Seasoning for depth; regular salt can be used instead, adjusting to taste.
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper Adds spice; crushed red pepper flakes can give it that extra kick.
  • 1 cup Artichoke Hearts Canned and drained works best for convenience.
  • 10 oz Frozen Chopped Spinach Ensure it's thawed and squeezed dry for a perfect dip.
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese Topping for creaminess and beautiful melting; swap with cheddar for a different flavor.
