BAKED CREAMY SPINACH DIP
I'm a fan of classic dishes but frequently tweak them a bit to suit my family's tastes. My cheesy spinach dip is a little lighter than other versions I've seen and pairs well with bagel chips. -Jenn Tidwell, Fair Oaks, California

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.
CREAMY CHEESY SPINACH DIP
This recipe doesn't contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it's very cheesy and very delicious. I'm asked for the recipe every time I make it. For those who don't want a strong cheese like Cheddar, you can replace it with anything you like or even leave it out altogether. I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach. Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor than frozen spinach.
- Squeeze out excess moisture from the spinach. This will help prevent the dip from being watery.
- Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses, such as cream cheese, cheddar, and Parmesan, will give the dip a richer flavor.
- Don't overcook the spinach. Overcooked spinach will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Serve the dip warm. The dip is best served warm, so that the cheese is melted and gooey.
- Garnish the dip with fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dip.
- Serve the dip with crackers, chips, or vegetables. This will give your guests something to dip into the dip.
