THE BEST SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
This is our best version of the classic party dip. It's savory and creamy with a slight tang from sour cream and Parmesan -- so hard to resist. We like to use frozen whole leaf spinach and chop it ourselves for more control over the finished texture of the dish.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Put the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and garlic in a large bowl. Mix vigorously until combined and smooth. (If you prefer, you can use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.) Add the spinach to the cream cheese mixture, breaking it up as you add it. Add the artichokes, mozzarella and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, mixing to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan.
- Bake until the dip begins to bubble, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven to broil and continue to cook, keeping an eye on it so it doesn't burn, until the top is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with crackers, chips or toasted bread.

5 MINUTE DELICIOUS ARTICHOKE DIP (FOOD PROCESSOR, MAKE AHEAD)
I have adapted this recipe from the Joy of Cooking with a few modifications that have crept in over my many years of making it. It is always a crowd pleaser and it is a breeze to prepare in the food processor. If you don't have a food processor, you can easily do the chopping and mixing by hand. You can also make it a day ahead and refrigerate until you are ready to bake. A double batch will fit in a standard food processor.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Artichokes: For the best flavor, use fresh artichokes. If you can't find fresh artichokes, you can use canned or jarred artichoke hearts, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Trim Artichokes Properly: When trimming artichokes, be sure to remove the tough outer leaves and the choke (the fuzzy center). You can use a knife or a kitchen shears to do this.
- Steam Artichokes Until Tender: Before using the artichokes in the dip, you need to steam them until they are tender. You can steam them in a steamer basket over boiling water, or you can microwave them on high power for 4-5 minutes.
- Use a Food Processor: A food processor makes quick work of pureeing the artichokes and other ingredients. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender, but you may need to work in batches.
- Make Ahead: This dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, simply reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Conclusion:
This 5-minute artichoke dip is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for parties or potlucks. It's also a great way to use up leftover artichokes. With its creamy texture and flavorful ingredients, this dip is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
