Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 oz fresh spinach
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly, then cook it in a skillet over medium heat until wilted (about 3-4 minutes). Transfer the spinach to a cutting board, let it cool slightly, and chop it finely. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Add the chopped spinach to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
Transfer the spinach dip mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges. If you want a golden top, broil on high for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy!
