Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in the minced garlic, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, chopped artichoke hearts, and the thawed, squeezed spinach until well combined.
- Prepare for baking: Spread the combined mixture evenly into a 1-quart baking dish to ensure even cooking.

- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm with sliced baguette, crackers, or tortilla chips for dipping.
Notes
- For best results, squeeze out as much moisture from the spinach as possible to prevent a watery dip.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for richer flavor.
- Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
- This dip can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated; just bake before serving.
- Serve with a variety of dippers like toasted bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
