A creamy, crowd-pleasing spinach-artichoke dip enhanced with soft-boiled eggs, perfect for entertaining and quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh baby spinach, packed
  • 1 can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 4 large soft-boiled eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 4 large eggs in a small pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to maintain a simmer. Cook for exactly 6 minutes for perfect soft-boiled eggs.
  2. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking. Peel carefully and set aside.
  3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Toss in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Add fresh spinach and chopped artichokes. Stir until spinach wilts and moisture mostly evaporates, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  6. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
  7. Fold the sautéed spinach and artichokes into the creamy mixture. Stir to blend flavors evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Transfer the creamy spinach-artichoke mixture to a serving bowl. Gently nestle the peeled soft-boiled eggs on top.
  9. Optionally, sprinkle extra Parmesan or fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving.

Notes

Use an ice bath immediately after boiling eggs to make peeling easier and keep yolks runny. Let sautéed greens cool slightly before mixing with creamy base to maintain texture. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese and sour cream with cashew cream or coconut yogurt and use avocado mayo. Soft-boil eggs exactly 6 minutes for perfect texture.
