Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves minced
11 cups fresh baby spinach coarsely chopped
8 ounces full fat cream cheese softened
1 ½ cups Gouda cheese shredded
1 ½ cups Parmesan cheese grated
1 ½ cups marinated artichokes coarsely chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
¼ teaspoon pepper
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and cook the minced garlic for about 30 seconds – until its fragrant.
Add in the fresh baby spinach until wilted and the excess moisture has evaporated. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet off the heat and add in the softened cream cheese and stir until melted and completely combined.
Next stir in Gouda cheese, Parmesan cheese, marinated artichokes, mayonnaise, pepper, and cayenne until combined. Transfer to a 2-quart baking dish. Smooth out the top with rubber spatula and sprinkle with some more cheese if desired.
Bake until you start to see some golden-brown spots and bubbling around edges, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes and enjoy!
