Recipe for a delicious spinach artichoke dip that is baked to creamy perfection. Serve it with pita chips or bread for a tasty appetizer.
Jump to RecipeIn the past, I’ve mentioned that I enjoy a good spinach and artichoke mixture. I have made it into a quesadilla before but hadn’t made my own dip. Although, when we go out to eat, it’s one of my favorite appetizers (after fried mozzarella).
So, as usual, I started looking up recipes online. I combined the best of a few of them to come up with this recipe. I wanted a spinach artichoke dip that’s baked in the oven. You can cook it and eat immediately. Or you can cook the dip and refrigerate, then just reheat when you are ready. We ate this with some store-bought pita chips, and it was a perfect appetizer.
I made it for a Super Bowl party a few years ago. The first food gone: Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip. The pita chips are perfect with it, but you could also eat the dip with bread or crackers. When cooking for a crowd, bring a little bit of each so guests can choose which one they prefer.
For the artichoke hearts, I suggest either using a chef knife or a “slap chop“. The pieces don’t have to be uniform in size.
Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip Step by Step
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (grated or shredded)
- 1-2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 dash white pepper
- 14 oz can artichoke hearts (drained and coarsely chopped)
- 1 cup spinach leaves (chopped)
- 1/2 cup red onion (finely chopped)
- Pita wedges, crackers, or bread to dip in (crackers, bread to dip in)
Preparation
Set your oven to 350F to let it preheat while you get the dip together. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, half of the parmesan cheese, mustard, and pepper. Stir these together until they are well mixed.
Stir in the chopped spinach leaves, artichoke hearts, and red onion.
Spread the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie plate or an 8×8 baking dish. Make sure there aren’t any peaks in the dip; otherwise those will burn before the rest of the dip has cooked. Try to even the dip out as best as possible. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese on top of the dip, covering as much as possible in a thin layer.
Bake the spinach artichoke dip uncovered for about 15 minutes. It will probably just start to bubble, and the parmesan cheese on top will melt. Serve the dip warm with crackers or pita chips or bread to dip in it.

I love spinach and artichoke dip!! By far my favorite appetizer at casual dining restaurants! I love th idea of making this to sit by myself and watch tv…. I’m super pregnant and not down with sharing my food at the moment.
Sounds like a great way to enjoy this recipe! I do that sometimes, too, and I’m not pregnant!!
I love spinach dip! But I haven’t ever made it myself and I think I have all these ingredients except the pita chips! This would be so delicious for game night!
It’s great when you have people over. You don’t have to use pita chips, those are just my preference with it. Any cracker should do!
The dip looks so yummy! Unfortunately, artichoke is just one of the things I can’t eat but I know my mother would love this. I might surprise her with this recipe!
Oh man, that’s a bummer about the artichoke. I’ve heard of spinach dip before, without artichokes, but I’ve never tried it myself. Thank you for still passing the recipe on!
Oh, this looks super yummy. I will definitely have to try this. I love spinach artichoke dip!!
It’s such an easy one to put together, too, since it’s baked.

I’m addicted to mozzarella so every dish with cheese seems much more delicious to me. This baked spinach artichole dip is no exception. I’ll follow your instruction and make a dish for my own!
I love mozzarella cheese too! There’s a lot of cheese in this dip, so I’m sure you would like it as much as I do!
