Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh spinach
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 0.25 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup cooked lump crab meat
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Once cooled, chop the spinach finely.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, and 1/2 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Gently fold in the cooked spinach, lump crab meat, minced garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to a greased, oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the dip.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the dip rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with crackers, pita chips, bread slices, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
