Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha or chili garlic sauce
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 cup Water chestnuts, finely chopped
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dry the fresh spinach. Sauté it in a large skillet over medium heat until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Let the spinach cool slightly, then chop it finely and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Add in the minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sriracha or chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, and half of the sliced green onions. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
Fold in the chopped spinach, water chestnuts, shredded mozzarella cheese, and half of the shredded parmesan cheese. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized oven-safe baking dish. Spread it out evenly, ensuring a smooth top layer.
Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese over the top of the dip for a golden, bubbly crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the dip cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with the remaining green onions and serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks.
