Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups fresh spinach
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the wilted spinach from the skillet and allow it to cool slightly. Once cool, chop it roughly to ensure even distribution in the dip.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well until smooth and evenly combined.
Fold the chopped spinach into the cream cheese mixture until evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced bread. Enjoy!
