Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh spinach
- 1 cup sour cream
- 225 grams cream cheese
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece round bread loaf
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Wash the spinach thoroughly and blanch it by boiling it in water for 1-2 minutes, then transferring it to ice water. Drain and chop the spinach finely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese (softened), mayonnaise, chopped spinach, parmesan cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the mixture. Season with salt and black pepper, then mix well until fully combined.
Using a serrated knife, cut the top off the bread loaf and hollow out the center to create a bowl. Reserve the bread pieces for dipping.
Brush the inside of the bread bowl with olive oil and place it on a baking sheet.
Fill the bread bowl with the spinach dip mixture, spreading it evenly.
Cover the bread bowl with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
While the dip is baking, cut the reserved bread into bite-sized cubes and optionally toast them in the oven for a few minutes for added crunch.
Once the spinach dip is warm and bubbly, remove it from the oven and serve immediately with the bread cubes or your choice of dipping sides.
