Instructions

  • Combine Everything:
  • Add the cooked spinach and artichoke mixture to the bowl with the creamy base. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Bake the Dip:

  • Serve:
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dippers.
