Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams frozen spinach
- 225 grams cream cheese
- 120 ml sour cream
- 60 ml mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 40 grams parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Thaw the frozen spinach by microwaving it for 2-3 minutes or letting it sit at room temperature. Once thawed, place the spinach in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible. Set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes to the cream mixture. Stir well to combine.
Fold in the drained spinach and grated parmesan cheese until evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and heat over low-medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the dip is warm and the parmesan is melted.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve warm or at room temperature with crackers, sliced bread, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
