Wash and roughly chop the fresh spinach leaves.
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until it wilts and excess moisture is evaporated. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, feta cheese, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the cooked spinach, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Mix thoroughly.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the dip for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the top is slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with pita bread, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.
