- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Romano cheese
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
- 0.5 teaspoon dried basil

Vegetables & Cheese
- 1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 0.5 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

Instructions
- Prepare Oven and Dish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease a small baking dish to prevent the dip from sticking.

- Add Vegetables: Gently fold in the chopped artichoke hearts and thawed, drained spinach to the cheese mixture, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
- Assemble Dip: Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese on top is lightly browned.
Notes

- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mix.
