- 2/3 cup (76g) finely shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (56g) finely shredded mozzarella cheese
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 (14 oz) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 6 oz. frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed to drain excess liquid
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Spray a small 1-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the dip warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices.
Notes
- This dip can be prepared a day in advance. Refrigerate it, then before baking, let it rest at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure even warming.
- Reheats well in the microwave in small portions, making it perfect for snacking over several days.
