1 Baking Dish I use a 12" Quiche Dish for this recipe. It's oven safe and has a lid for storing the leftovers. If you have any.
1 Large Mixing Bowl Large mixing bowl for combining ingredients.

2 8 Ounce Packages of Cream Cheese (softened) I prefer Dutch Farms or Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1/2 cup Mayonnaise I use Hellmann's, Kewpie's or Duke's Mayo
1 cup Grated Parmesan and/or Romano Cheeses I buy a blended bag of Parmesan & Romano cheeses.
2 cloves Fresh Garlic (minced) Garlic powder or jarred minced garlic can be used as a substitute, but the taste is week with the jarred garlic in my opinion.
1 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
2 14 Ounce Canned Artichoke Hearts (thawed and chopped) I find Reese's and Vigo brand canned artichokes taste better and have softer stems than store brands/generics.
10 Oz Package of Frozen Spinach I often use fresh spinach. A 10 Oz package of frozen spinach is equivalent to approximately 1 pound of fresh spinach.
Salt & Pepper to Taste

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Combine cream cheese, mayo, cheeses, garlic, seasonings in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Gently fold in artichokes and spinach.
You may lightly grease the baking dish (Optional – I do not grease my dish)
Transfer dip mixture to the oven safe baking dish. Spread the mixture evenly in the dish. (Wipe the edges of your dish prior to baking for aesthetics)
Bake in the middle shelf of the preheated oven until lightly brown and bubbling. Depending on the size and depth of your dish this can take 30 to 40 minutes.
Let dish cool slightly and serve. This dip can be served with crackers, tortilla chips, or pita chips.
