🔪 How to Make Low Carb Spinach Artichoke Dip

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Add the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl.

Using a hand mixer or spatula, mix until well combined.

Tip: Using a hand mixer helps break up any lumps and ensures the ingredients are well combined and smooth.

Take the thawed spinach and squeeze all the water out.

Tip: This step is important, because you don’t want your dip to be watery.

Add in the spinach, artichokes, parmesan cheese, Gruyere cheese and half the mozzarella to the cream cheese mixture.

Tip: The Gruyere cheese is very flavorful, almost nutty and melts beautifully, so it’s well worth using. If you can’t find locally, you can substitute with more mozzarella cheese.

Then mix until well combined.

Spread the mixture into a baking dish that’s been sprayed with nonstick spray.

Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese, then bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is slightly golden.  

Serve with your favorite Keto friendly crackers, tortilla chips or raw veggies.

Tip: Use any leftover dip to spread over a piece of grilled chicken, it’s delicious!!

☑️ Storage Instructions

Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up 5 days.

💡 Tips

• If you want to make this dip ahead of time, you certainly can. Simply follow all the steps to prepare the casserole, then cover it with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge until you are ready. When you’d like to bake it, allow it to come to room temperature first, then bake as directed.
• You really want to bake this right before you’re ready to serve it. The reason is that you want the cheese to be perfectly melty and the longer the dip sits, the more it will solidify, making it more challenging to dip.
• Make sure you are using full fat cream cheese softened at room temperature. This will ensure a creamy texture and make mixing much easier.
• It’s so important to really squeeze out every bit of water in your spinach, as too much moisture will ruin the creamy consistency of this dip.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• If you don’t like the taste of cream cheese, you can use mascarpone cheese instead. It has the same creamy texture, but is very mild in flavor. It also has few carbs, which is always a plus!
• I mentioned earlier that I highly recommend using Gruyere cheese because the flavor just can’t be beat, but if you can’t find it, you can use fontina or Monterey Jack instead. Basically any cheese that melts beautifully is what you want and I’d stay clear of cheddar, as the flavor is too overpowering for this dip.
• I use canned or jarred artichoke hearts, NOT the marinated type, you want them plain. Now if you have frozen artichoke hearts on hand, you can use them instead. Just make sure to thaw them completely first, then squeeze out every bit of moisture, otherwise they will make the dip watery.
• If you’d rather use fresh spinach you can, just make sure to cook it first, and drain any moisture out before adding it to the bowl with the other ingredients.
• If you don’t have parmesan cheese on hand, you can either leave it out or use Romano or Asiago instead.
