Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained (or 6 cups fresh baby spinach, sautéed and drained)
  • 14 oz canned or jarred artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for lighter option)
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 large soft-boiled eggs, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, optional pinch

Instructions

  1. Thaw frozen spinach completely and squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or hands. Chop artichoke hearts if not already chopped and drain thoroughly.
  2. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Gently lower in 4 large eggs and boil for 6-7 minutes depending on desired yolk consistency. Transfer eggs immediately to an ice bath to stop cooking. Once cool, peel carefully and set aside.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  4. Fold in drained spinach and chopped artichokes gently. Add Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, mixing just until combined to maintain texture.
  5. Transfer mixture to an oven-safe bowl or casserole dish. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
  6. Carefully arrange peeled soft-boiled eggs on top, halved or whole as preferred. The eggs will warm slightly from the heat.
  7. Garnish with a pinch of red pepper flakes or fresh herbs like parsley if desired. Serve warm with crusty bread, crackers, or fresh veggie sticks.

Notes

Drain spinach and artichokes thoroughly to avoid a runny dip. Use a timer for soft-boiling eggs to achieve perfect jammy yolks. If dip is too thick before baking, add a splash of milk or cream. Handle eggs gently when placing on top to keep whites intact. Can be made vegan by substituting dairy and eggs with plant-based alternatives.
