# Ingredients:

→ Dip Base

01 - 680 grams frozen spinach, thawed and thoroughly drained
02 - 850 grams artichoke hearts, quartered and drained (not marinated)
03 - 120 grams white onion, finely diced
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 450 grams cream cheese, softened
06 - 240 grams sour cream
07 - 120 grams mayonnaise
08 - 100 grams Parmesan cheese, shredded (or Parmigiano Reggiano)
09 - 200 grams mozzarella cheese, shredded
10 - 225 grams fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces (optional)

→ Crostini

11 - 1 French baguette, cut into 1.25 cm slices
12 - 45 millilitres olive oil
13 - 10 grams fine sea salt
14 - 8 grams freshly ground black pepper

# Steps:

01 - Place thawed and drained spinach, quartered artichoke hearts, diced onion, and minced garlic in the slow cooker. Stir to ensure even distribution.
02 - Add softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded Parmesan, and shredded mozzarella to the slow cooker. Mix thoroughly until uniform.
03 - Cover with the lid and cook on medium heat for 90 to 120 minutes until the mixture is heated throughout and cheese is melted and bubbling. Stir every 30 minutes to prevent scorching.
04 - While the dip cooks, preheat the oven to 175°C. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season evenly with sea salt and black pepper.
05 - Bake baguette slices for 10-15 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove from oven and let cool.
06 - If using, distribute torn fresh mozzarella over the dip’s surface. Cover and continue cooking for an additional 20-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
07 - Set the slow cooker to warm or low. Serve spinach artichoke dip with crostini alongside.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Prepare a day ahead and store covered in the refrigerator; reheat gently before serving to maintain ideal texture.
02 - For optimal flavor and texture, ensure spinach is well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the dip.
