All the ingredients that make this dip irresistible come together in a single bowl.

Spinach, artichokes, creaminess, and plenty of cheese are stirred until smooth and evenly blended, creating a rich mixture that still feels balanced.

A light touch of seasoning brings out the flavors without complicating the recipe.

It’s a simple start that promises a deeply satisfying finish.

Getting It Ready For The Oven

Once the mixture is combined, it’s transferred to a baking dish and smoothed into an even layer.

A topping of shredded white cheddar crowns the dip, melting into a luscious, stretchy layer as it bakes.

The oven works its magic by warming everything through until the dip is bubbly, aromatic, and perfectly melded.

Adding A Golden, Bubbly Finish

If you prefer a little extra color and crispness, a quick broil transforms the top into a lightly golden crust.

Just a couple of minutes of high heat create a caramelized surface without affecting the velvety texture beneath.

This simple finishing touch elevates the dip, giving it the kind of presentation that makes guests reach for it immediately.

The dip is best served piping hot, surrounded by slices of fresh baguette that are sturdy enough for generous scoops.

The combination of crunchy bread and creamy dip makes every bite feel indulgent but familiar.

Whether it’s the centerpiece of a party spread or a cozy appetizer at home, this dish tends to disappear long before the night is over.
