Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 round sourdough bread loaf
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cups assorted fresh vegetables or crackers, for dipping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse and dry the fresh spinach leaves. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the spinach for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Once cooled, finely chop the spinach and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, shredded Parmesan cheese, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Fold the chopped spinach into the cream mixture, ensuring it's evenly distributed.
Cut the top off the round sourdough bread loaf and hollow out the inside to create a bowl. Reserve the bread chunks for dipping.
Spoon the spinach dip mixture into the hollowed-out bread bowl. Place the bread bowl on a baking sheet.
Bake the filled bread bowl in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the edges of the bread bowl are lightly golden.
While the dip is baking, arrange assorted fresh vegetables or crackers on a serving platter.
Once the spinach dip is ready, remove it from the oven. Serve immediately with the reserved bread chunks, fresh vegetables, or crackers for dipping.
