Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh spinach
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces cooked lump crab meat
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Rinse the spinach and lightly pat it dry. Cook the spinach in a large skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Roughly chop the spinach and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and minced garlic. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Fold in the chopped spinach, lump crab meat, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 5
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the dip cool slightly. Serve warm with crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
