Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 ounces fresh spinach
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dry the spinach thoroughly, then roughly chop it.
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 until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, crumbled feta cheese, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Fold the cooked spinach into the cheese mixture. Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using), and stir well.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the dip.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with sliced baguette, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
