Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out all excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and minced garlic. Mix well until creamy and smooth.
Fold in the thawed and drained spinach. Add the salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes, then mix until evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish or any oven-safe dish. Smooth the top so it bakes evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve hot with tortilla chips, crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks.
