Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large jalapenos, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- as needed tortilla chips or bread slices (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the spinach from the skillet, let it cool slightly, and then chop it finely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped spinach, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, chopped jalapenos, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the bowl. Mix all ingredients thoroughly to combine.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, bread slices, or your favorite dippers. Enjoy!
