📝 Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest spinach and artichoke dip.
- Fresh or frozen spinach both work; thaw and squeeze frozen spinach very well.
- Canned or jarred artichoke hearts are fine; drain and chop evenly.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for gentle heat.
- Bake until bubbly and lightly golden on top for best texture.
- Stir halfway through baking if your oven has hot spots.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.
