Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (or more mozzarella)
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ chicken bouillon cube
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayo (or more sour cream)
  • 12 teaspoons lemon juice (I use 2 tsp.)
  • 1 (14.5 oz.) jar artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
  • 5 oz. fresh spinach, roughly chopped (or 10 oz. frozen)
  • Toasted pita bread
  • Naan bread
  • Baguettes
  • Crackers
  • Vegetables

Instructions

  1. Combine the shredded mozzarella, shredded Gruyere, and half of the grated parmesan cheese in a bowl. Set aside for layering later.
  2. Set your oven to 350° F to warm up and prepare for baking the dip.
  3. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add chicken broth, crumbled bouillon cube, Dijon mustard, softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayo into the saucepan. Stir continuously as these ingredients melt and combine smoothly.
  5. Stir in the chopped, drained artichoke hearts thoroughly. Add the roughly chopped spinach and cook for 3-5 minutes until the spinach wilts significantly.
  6. Reserve 1 cup of the combined cheese mixture. Gradually stir the remaining cheese into the dip until melted and fully combined. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice for brightness.
  7. Pour the dip into a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Bake the dish uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until the dip is hot and bubbling. If desired, broil at 500° F for 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden brown top.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Offer with toasted pita bread, naan, baguettes, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
