This 3-ingredient spinach artichoke dip is creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor—no one will believe how easy it is to make! Whether you’re throwing together a quick appetizer for a party or just need a cozy snack for movie night, this dip is sure to be a hit.

Spinach artichoke dip is a classic party appetizer that’s always a favorite. There are so many different varieties and I’ve never met one I didn’t like.

This version of the classic recipe was inspired by time spent with my own “Real Housewives” crew in my neighborhood.

The moms on my street love getting together on Friday evenings. We all sit and chat and let the kids run wild in our yards. We often order pizza for all the kids but recently one of my neighbors brought over her now famous baked spinach artichoke dip for the moms to share. We devoured it all and she has now been designated the spinach dip contributor for all future gatherings.

I was craving more of her delicious dip a few days later and remembered I had snagged some Boursin cheese on sale at the grocery store. I decided to try my hand at a shortcut spinach artichoke dip combining only Boursin cheese with spinach and artichokes I had on hand.

It was absolutely DELICIOUS and is a perfect easy stovetop spinach artichoke dip packed with flavor but simple enough to make any day of the week… no oven required.

Ingredients in This 3 Ingredient Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe

Spinach

Spinach adds a tender texture and earthy flavor that balances the richness of the cheese. You can use frozen spinach for convenience or fresh if you have it on hand—just be sure to cook and drain it well.

Artichoke Hearts

Artichokes bring a briny, slightly tangy note to the dip. They add texture and complexity without overpowering the dish. Use canned or jarred artichoke hearts (in water, not oil) for easy prep.

Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese

This herbed cheese is the secret weapon in this dip. It melts beautifully and infuses the whole dish with creamy, garlicky, herby flavor. It takes the place of multiple ingredients like cream cheese, garlic, and seasoning—making this dip ridiculously easy and flavorful.

Tips and Substitutions

• Use frozen chopped spinach to save time. Just thaw and squeeze out excess water.
• Chop the artichoke hearts into bite-sized pieces for even distribution.
• No Boursin? Substitute with garlic and herb cream cheese, or mix plain cream cheese with a bit of garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Alternatively, if you’re doubling the recipe, you can use half Boursin and half regular cream cheese to stretch your budget!
• Add a topping. Sprinkle with parmesan or mozzarella and broil for a few minutes for a bubbly, golden top.
• Serve warm with tortilla chips, pita, crostini, or sliced veggies. You can even use it as the filling for stuffed chicken breasts or thin it out with pasta water and use it as a pasta sauce.

How to Store This 3 Ingredient Spinach Artichoke Dip Recipe

• Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Reheat: Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, or bake in a small oven-safe dish at 350°F until warm.
• Freezing not recommended as the texture of the cheese may change once thawed.
