Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh spinach
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 120 ml Sour cream
- 60 ml Mayonnaise
- 2 units Garlic cloves
- 120 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 bowl Tortilla chips or bread slices (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Rinse the spinach thoroughly under cold water and drain any excess moisture. Roughly chop the spinach leaves.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for 3–4 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and allow the spinach to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked spinach, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using) to the creamy mixture. Stir until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased, oven-safe baking dish.
Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella on top of the mixture for extra cheesiness.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Carefully remove from the oven and let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the warm cheesy spinach dip with tortilla chips, bread slices, or vegetable sticks on the side for dipping.
