Notes

  • Ensure to thoroughly drain the spinach and artichokes to prevent a watery dip.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream to lighten the dip slightly.
  • This recipe is versatile and can be made ahead; reheat gently before serving.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan and mozzarella for best melting quality and flavor.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace chicken broth with vegetable broth.
