Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh spinach
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 ounces bleu cheese crumbles
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 package baguette or crackers (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat it dry. Roughly chop the spinach and set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and bleu cheese crumbles. Stir together until creamy and smooth.
Fold the cooked spinach into the cheese mixture. Add the Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix well to combine.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, with a golden top.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with sliced baguette, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
