🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 10 ounces baby spinach, chopped
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons dill, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 sheets phyllo dough sheets (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional, for phyllo topping)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

4. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

5. In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, grated parmesan, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.

6. Once the spinach mixture has cooled slightly, fold it into the cheese mixture, ensuring it's evenly distributed.

7. Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.

8. Optional: If using phyllo dough, lay one sheet of phyllo over the dip and brush it with melted butter. Layer a second sheet on top and brush again. Trim any excess dough for a neat finish.

9. Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the dip is hot and bubbling.

10. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with pita chips, bread, or fresh veggies for dipping.
