Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 1.5 cups Feta cheese
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted (about 2-3 minutes). Remove the skillet from heat and let the spinach cool slightly.
Using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, squeeze the excess moisture from the cooked spinach. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and feta cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Add the wilted spinach, lemon juice, dried oregano, black pepper, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the dip mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake the dip for 8-10 minutes, or until heated through and slightly bubbly around the edges.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, sliced bread, or fresh veggies for dipping. Enjoy!
