How To Make Spinach Artichoke Dip

- Broil for golden top: Turn on the grill (broiler) for about 5 minutes, watching closely, until golden brown.
- Serve warm: Enjoy with crisps, crackers, or toasted bread.
Recipe Tips
- Drain spinach well: Squeeze out all the water to stop the dip from becoming watery.
- Use fresh garlic: Grating the garlic makes sure the flavour spreads evenly.
- Extra cheesy? Add more mozzarella for a richer and creamier dip.
- Make ahead: You can mix everything, cover, and refrigerate for a day before baking.
- Broiling tip: Keep an eye on it,broil just until golden brown, not burnt.
