Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 6 slices Bacon
- 1 medium-sized Yellow onion
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the spinach thoroughly and roughly chop the leaves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
In the same skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Beat together until smooth.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, half of the mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper.
Fold the spinach mixture and crumbled bacon into the cheese mixture until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish or skillet. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
