Cooking Instructions

Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give a small baking dish a light greasing to ensure your dip comes out easily.

In a mixing bowl, blend together the softened Neufchatel cheese, light mayonnaise, grated Parmesan, and Romano cheeses, along with minced garlic, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.

Stir until everything is beautifully combined, creating a creamy base that’s bursting with flavor.

Now, gently fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and drained spinach, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture for that perfect bite.
Step 5
Once your mixture is ready, transfer it into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to create a lovely layer.
Step 6
To finish it off, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top, adding that irresistible melty goodness.
Step 7
Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and has developed a delightful golden-brown crust on top.

The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist diving in right away! Enjoy this delicious dip with your favorite crackers or fresh veggies for a crowd-pleasing treat.
