Questions

What oven temperature does Spinach Artichoke Dip need?

For Spinach Artichoke Dip, the oven is set to 350 F (about 175 C) in step 1. The longest stretch at that heat is 25 minutes, in step 6.

What should Spinach Artichoke Dip look like when it is ready?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 6: cook until bubbly and lightly browned on top.

Is Spinach Artichoke Dip spicy?

Moderately. The heat in Spinach Artichoke Dip comes from 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes. For a milder plate, halve the red pepper flakes; nothing else in the method changes. For more, add it at the table rather than in the pot, so everyone sets their own level.

Can I make Spinach Artichoke Dip dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (8 oz cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free appetizer collection instead.

Is Spinach Artichoke Dip vegan?

No, though it is vegetarian. What keeps it from vegan is 8 oz cream cheese, softened, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated and 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded. For fully plant-based entries, see the vegan appetizer collection.
