Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh kale
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1.5 cups Asiago cheese, grated
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the kale by washing it thoroughly, removing the tough stems, and chopping the leaves into small pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the chopped kale to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until wilted and tender. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and well blended.
Fold in the sautéed kale, grated Asiago cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.
Transfer the dip mixture to a greased 1-quart baking dish or a small cast-iron skillet. Spread it out evenly.
Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly, with a golden-brown top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetable dippers. Enjoy!
