Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip

The bubbling, cheese-pulled dip that disappears first at every party. Squeezing the spinach bone-dry is the only real rule here, because wet spinach turns the whole skillet watery.

Cooking Notes

  • Squeeze as much water as possible from the spinach before mixing the dip. Extra moisture thins the cheese base and can leave a watery ring around the finished pan.
  • Bring the creamy ingredients close to room temperature before combining them. Softer ingredients blend more evenly, which keeps the dip from baking with pockets of unmixed cream cheese.
  • Bake until the center is hot and the edges are bubbling, then give the dip a few minutes to settle. It thickens slightly as it cools and is easier to scoop cleanly.
