Tips:
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before using.
- Artichoke hearts can be canned, frozen, or fresh. If using canned artichoke hearts, rinse them well and chop them into small pieces. If using frozen artichoke hearts, thaw them completely before chopping.
- Use a good quality Parmesan cheese. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will give the dip the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the spinach. It should be wilted but still bright green.
- Use a variety of cheeses for the best flavor. A combination of cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese works well.
- Use a sturdy bread bowl that can hold the dip without becoming soggy. A sourdough bread bowl or a French bread bowl works well.
