Can Spinach Artichoke Dip Be Made-Ahead of Time?

Yes, it sure can! To make Spinach Artichoke Dip ahead of time, just follow the instructions right up until you bake it. Once you’ve transferred the dip to your prepared baking dish, do not add the Parmesan cheese topping.

Cover it tightly with either foil or plastic wrap and place it in the fridge until you are ready to bake it. It will keep in the fridge for up to 36 hours. When ready to bake, thaw with Parmesan cheese and cook as directed.

How to Serve This Dip

How I serve this Dip depends on where I’m serving it. If I’m making it for just my family, I will transfer the warm dip to a dip serving platter after it’s done cooking, then serve with my favorite crackers, tortilla chips, or toasted baguette.

If I’m hosting a larger gathering, I like to transfer the dip to my Crock Pot, then turn the setting to WARM as I’m serving to keep it at the right temperature.
