Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly and chop it into smaller pieces. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Once cool, squeeze out any excess moisture from the spinach using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Fold the cooked spinach into the cheese mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
