Ingredients

For the Dip

1 cup Mayonnaise Adds creaminess to the dip; Greek yogurt can lighten it up.
1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard Provides a peppery bite; adjust for desired heat.
2 cloves Minced Garlic Enhances flavor depth; fresh is best for a stronger taste.
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper Adds a hint of heat; omit if you prefer a milder flavor.
1 can Artichokes Brings texture and tang; both canned and frozen work well.
1 cup Spinach Offers vibrant color and nutrition; fresh or well-drained frozen is fine.
1 cup Mozzarella Cheese Delivers gooeyness; feel free to swap with provolone or fontina.
1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese Complements the flavors; optional but adds depth.
2 stalks Green Onions Adds a fresh crunch; chives are a great alternative if needed.
2 tablespoons Parsley Enhances with brightness; fresh is preferred, but dried can work in a pinch.

For Serving

1 loaf Toasted Bread or Crackers Perfect for dipping; Italian bread is ideal, or opt for gluten-free options.

Equipment

10-inch cast-iron skillet

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 10” cast-iron skillet with olive oil.
In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and cayenne pepper until smooth.
Fold in chopped artichokes, spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan, sliced green onions, and chopped parsley.
Spread the mixture evenly into the greased skillet and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until bubbling and slightly golden on edges.
Broil for an additional minute for a golden top, watching closely to prevent burning.
Allow cooling for 5 minutes before serving warm with toasted bread or crackers.
