The Perfect Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup chopped green onions
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, pressed
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
• 1 (10 ounce) bag spinach, chopped
• 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

In a medium bowl, combine green onions and jalapeno. Stir in pressed garlic.

In an 8×10 inch glass baking dish, mix sour cream and mayonnaise. Stir in green onions mixture. Blend in 1 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Stir in spinach and artichokes. Spread mixture evenly across the baking dish. Sprinkle lemon juice on top, and cover with aluminum foil.

Bake in a preheated oven about 20 minutes. Remove, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan. Return to oven, and bake until lightly browned, about 5 minutes more.
