Ingredients Notes

Spinach: Fresh spinach works best, but frozen spinach is a great alternative. Be sure to thaw and squeeze out excess water.
Artichoke Hearts: Use marinated artichoke hearts for extra flavor, or canned ones for a milder taste.
Cheese: A mix of cream cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan creates the perfect creamy and tangy balance.
Garlic: Freshly minced garlic adds a robust, aromatic flavor. Garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
Sour Cream/Greek Yogurt: Sour cream adds richness, but you can substitute Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
