Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon butter (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler to high and position the oven rack about 6 inches below the heating element.
Grease a medium-sized casserole dish with the butter and set it aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring frequently until wilted (about 3-4 minutes). If necessary, do this in batches.
Drain any excess liquid from the spinach and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Add the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the bowl with the spinach. Mix well until fully combined.
Transfer the spinach and cheese mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
Place the casserole dish under the broiler and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted, bubbling, and lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve as a warm and creamy side dish alongside your favorite main course.
