Ingredients

• 10 ounces Frozen chopped spinach
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 0.75 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 0 optional Tortilla chips, bread, or crackers (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Thaw the frozen spinach by microwaving it for 2-3 minutes or defrosting it in the refrigerator. Once thawed, squeeze out all the excess water using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to avoid a watery dip.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Use a spatula or hand mixer to ensure the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the bowl. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Gently fold in the drained spinach until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches or similar). Spread it out evenly using a spatula.

Step 7

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with tortilla chips, toasted bread, or crackers. Enjoy!
