Print Recipe

A creamy, flavorful spinach and artichoke dip topped with perfectly soft-boiled eggs, ideal for easy entertaining and crowd-pleasing gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz fresh spinach (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 14 oz canned artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat or Greek yogurt)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • Pinch of salt for boiling water
  • Chopped fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)
  • Crusty bread, pita chips, or veggie sticks for dipping

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of water to a gentle boil and add a pinch of salt. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower 4 large room-temperature eggs into the boiling water. Set timer for exactly 6 minutes.
  2. Prepare an ice bath. When timer goes off, transfer eggs immediately to ice bath and let sit for at least 5 minutes.
  3. If using fresh spinach, rinse thoroughly, drain well, and chop roughly. If using frozen spinach, thaw completely and squeeze out excess moisture. Drain and chop canned artichoke hearts.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sour cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.
  6. Fold in chopped spinach, artichokes, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix gently but thoroughly.
  7. Transfer mixture to a medium saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Warm gently over low heat on stove, stirring often until cheese melts and mixture is hot and bubbly (about 5-7 minutes). Alternatively, microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between.
  8. Peel soft-boiled eggs carefully and slice each in half lengthwise.
  9. Spoon warm spinach artichoke mixture into serving bowl. Nestle halved soft-boiled eggs on top and garnish with fresh parsley or chives.
  10. Serve immediately with crusty bread, pita chips, or fresh veggie sticks.

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs to avoid cracking. Squeeze excess moisture from spinach to prevent watery dip. Warm dip slowly over low heat to avoid burning or curdling. For a baked version, bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes and add soft-boiled eggs after baking. Vegan and gluten-free adaptations are possible.
