If you like a delicious appetizer that is super easy to make, then this dip recipe is for you. It is a six-ingredient recipe that you bake for 25 minutes, and out comes a creamy dip to pile on a crispy pita chip or thinly sliced bread.
My friend Mindy served this dip at one of our neighborhood get-togethers, and I immediately fell in love with it. She was the gourmet cook in the neighborhood, and we all loved everything she made. This dip tastes gourmet, but in regards to the prep, it is so simple to make. If you are new to cooking, then you’ll love this recipe.
I know that we are baking and cooking a lot more around here. I have the darndest time keeping my young adult kiddos fed these days. I’m very thankful that my husband has a job during these tough times.

Crowd Pleaser: If you have a crowd over for a dinner party, then this dip will be a great choice to serve. It is baked, and the warm dip is quite yummy on a pita chip. This cheese dip is the perfect blend of creaminess and zestiness. The green chiles add a bit of zing to the dip.
Convenience: You can make it ahead and just warm it up right before serving.
Under $10 to Make: The artichokes are the most expensive items, but this appetizer costs about $10 to make.
Timesaver: It takes about 10 minutes to prep and 25 minutes to bake. Chop and combine ingredients, and you are done with the prep work.

What Should I Serve With This Dip?
- Pita Chips
- Ritz Crackers
- Rustic Crackers
- Saltines
- Thinly Sliced Baguette (toasted with butter)
- Assorted Sliced Vegetables
This artichoke dip recipe is on the heavy side, so you want a hearty cracker; otherwise, it will break. So, a potato chip probably wouldn’t fare well with this appetizer.
Here are some nice serving dishes for the artichoke dip!

Can I Add Spinach?
Absolutely. If you add a frozen spinach package, make sure to thaw it and squeeze out all the extra water. I would recommend chopped spinach so that it isn’t too stringy. Most versions out there are spinach artichoke dip recipes, so it seems natural to add the spinach.
A Few Other Things to Add
Chili flakes – I did add a few chili flakes to the baked dip. Not only does it make it zippy, but it is also pretty.
Olive Oil – Drizzling a bit of nice olive oil adds another layer of richness to the dip.

I have a funny story. A couple of years ago, when my kids were in elementary school, I got invited to many lunches for the moms. I was always asked to bring an appetizer. Well, I admit that I don’t have many appetizer recipes in my cookbook. Well, I do have a few:
Well, I finally have another appetizer recipe on the blog, hooray! This holiday season, we are baking and cooking a lot, so I’m certain this dish will be on our Thanksgiving and Christmas table.
