Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Garlic bulb
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Fresh spinach
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes or until the garlic is soft and golden.
While the garlic is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool, and squeeze out any excess water. Chop the spinach roughly.
Once the garlic is roasted, let it cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a mixing bowl. Mash the garlic into a paste using a fork.
Add the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise to the bowl with the roasted garlic paste. Stir until well combined and smooth.
Mix in the chopped spinach, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the dip is bubbling and golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, fresh bread, or vegetable sticks.
