- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (5-ounce) bag of fresh spinach or about 1 cup of frozen spinach
- 1 (12-ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped into ½ inch pieces

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

- Add in spinach and cover the pan with a lid until spinach wilts. Turn off heat and stir in cream cheese, breaking it apart with a spoon until it melts. Stir in greek yogurt and mix until well combined. Add in chopped artichoke hearts, parmesan cheese and ½ cup of the mozzarella cheese, stirring well to combine. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.Top with remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then serve with tortilla chips, crackers, pita chips or veggie sticks.
Notes
If you don’t have a cast iron skillet or oven safe pan, you can prepare everything in step 3 and then transfer to a greased 9-inch baking pan and bake as directed.
If you want a more flavorful cheese, we suggest using white cheddar instead of mozzarella or even pepper jack cheese would be delicious!
