# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The combination of tangy artichokes and earthy spinach creates layers of flavor that keep everyone coming back for just one more bite
  • It comes together in under 15 minutes of active prep, letting you actually enjoy your own party instead of being stuck in the kitchen
02 -
  • Water is the enemy here, whether from frozen spinach or poorly drained artichokes, squeeze everything thoroughly or your dip will be soupy
  • The bubbling edges and golden spots are your visual cues that it's ready, but if you want extra browning, broil for just 1 to 2 minutes at the end while watching closely
03 -
  • Grating your own cheese makes a huge difference in how smoothly everything melts together
  • Room temperature ingredients blend together effortlessly, so plan ahead and set everything out about 30 minutes before you start mixing
