Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh spinach (chopped)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 cup Gruyère cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the chopped spinach and blanch for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the spinach using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to the cream cheese mixture and combine well.
Stir in the mozzarella, Parmesan, Gruyère, and cheddar cheeses, reserving a small handful of each cheese for topping.
Fold the drained spinach into the cheese mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly and sprinkle the reserved cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and the top is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
