Storage Information

This spinach artichoke dip is best enjoyed fresh but here is the information you’ll need for making ahead, storing, etc.:

  • Make Ahead: You can prepare this dip a day in advance. Store in the fridge, then reheat in the crockpot or microwave.
  • Leftovers: Store leftover dip an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store the crostini in a ziploc bag or container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as the texture may change upon thawing.
  • Reheat: To reheat, place in microwave on low heat and stir every 15 seconds or so until heated through.

Variations to Try

  • Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for some heat.
  • Stir in cooked, crumbled bacon or diced chicken for a heartier spinach artichoke dip.
  • Add chopped bell peppers or sun-dried tomatoes for a flavor twist.

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

Yes! Just chop it finely and sauté briefly to remove excess moisture before adding to the crockpot.

Can I make this in the oven?

Absolutely. Combine everything in an oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F until hot and bubbly. The advantage of making the spinach artichoke dip in the slow cooker is that it can be kept warm for serving.

How do I reheat leftovers?

This dip can be reheated in the microwave, stirring occasionally, or warmed in the oven at 350°F until heated through.

What else can I serve this dip with besides the crostini?

We love tortilla chips, toasted baguette slices or even veggies like celery sticks!

What size crockpot should I use?

A 2.5 quart crockpot to a 4 quart crockpot will work for this recipe. I love this one for dips!

Trish’s Tips

  • Make sure to thoroughly drain the spinach and artichokes to avoid a watery dip.
  • Remember to stir the dip occasionally to help prevent it from burning on the bottom or sides.
  • The recipe can easily be halved and cooked in a two-quart crockpot.
  • Keep an eye on the crostini as they can begin browning quite quickly. I like to start checking about halfway through. This depends almost entirely on how thin you cut the bread. You want the texture to be crisp but not hard. 
  • To thin the dip, you can add a teaspoon or two of milk or water and stir to combine.

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces frozen spinach thawed and drained (I use the bagged kind)
  • 30 ounces artichoke hearts quartered and drained (not marinated)
  • ½ cup white onion diced, or yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened (use bricks)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese shredded (or Parmigiano Reggiano cheese)
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella optional

For Crostini

  • 1 French baguette cut into half-inch slices
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add the thawed and drained spinach, the drained artichokes, diced onion, and minced garlic to the crockpot, stir to combine the ingredients.
    24 ounces frozen spinach, 30 ounces artichoke hearts, ½ cup white onion, 3 cloves garlic
  • Add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan and shredded mozzarella to the crockpot. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
    16 ounces cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, 2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on medium for about 1 ½ to 2 hours, until it is warm and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Check the dip every half hour or so and stir occasionally so it does not burn on the bottom or sides.

For the Crostini

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Set the bread slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
    1 French baguette, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons fine sea salt, 2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until the crostini are golden brown and lightly toasted (about 10-15 minutes). Set aside to cool.
  • Once the dip is warm, tear the fresh mozzarella cheese and place on the dip so that it is evenly distributed over the surface. Put the lid back on the crockpot, and cook until the cheese on top is melted (about 20-30 minutes). This step is optional.
