Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Pat it dry using a clean kitchen towel.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it wilts. Remove from the heat and let the spinach cool slightly.
Once cooled, finely chop the sautéed spinach and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture. Add the chopped spinach, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let the dip cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with sliced vegetables, crackers, or toasted bread for dipping.
