Spinach artichoke dip

Ingredients:
1 jar (6-1/2 oz.) marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
1/2 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed dry, and finely chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1-1/4 cups coarsely grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 clove garlic, minced

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine artichoke hearts, spinach, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese and garlic, stirring until combined. Put in two 1 cup ramekins or other small baking dish, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese. Dip may be prepared up to this point one day ahead and chilled, covered. Bake dip in middle of oven until cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. If you want the cheese to brown, put under broiler for a few minutes. Serve dip warm with taco chips or crackers.
