Can this dip be made ahead of time?

You can assemble this dip ahead of time and place it covered in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook it. This makes it a great dip for entertaining.

You can also freeze the dip after baking, just let it cool and then cover completely. Defrost in the refrigerator before heating through.

Cheesy Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip 

Parmesan cheese is the only cheese used in this recipe, but that’s all you need! It’s strong flavor works so well with the artichoke and spinach and makes this appetizer oh so delicious!

This dip will keep guests coming back for me – be sure to serve it with enough crackers!

Tips!

  • Use panko breadcrumbs for the topping, they will be a lot crunchier than the normal ones.
  • Bake the dip in a pre heated oven for the best results.
  • Let the dip rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the fridge and reheated.
