Dip is too watery.
Ensure spinach is thoroughly squeezed dry before adding it to the mixture.

Increase oven temperature slightly or broil for the last few minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
Chef's Notes
Drain and squeeze excess moisture from canned artichoke hearts to prevent a watery dip.
For creamier dip, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream. Don't overmix spinach.
Serve hot with tortilla chips, pita bread, or crusty baguette slices for dipping.
Assemble the dip in its baking dish up to 24 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Add 5-10 mins to baking time.
