Ingredients

• 300 grams fresh spinach
• 225 grams cream cheese, softened
• 120 ml sour cream
• 60 ml mayonnaise
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 60 grams parmesan cheese, grated
• 120 grams mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 30 ml olive oil
• 4 pieces pita bread
• 1 teaspoons dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Rinse the fresh spinach, pat it dry, and chop it roughly.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Add the cooled spinach and garlic to the mixing bowl. Stir until the spinach is evenly incorporated into the creamy mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the spinach dip mixture into an oven-safe baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and lightly golden on top.

Step 7

While the dip is baking, prepare the pita crisps. Cut each pita bread into 8 wedges (like slicing a pizza) and arrange them on a baking sheet.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the dried oregano. Brush the pita wedges with the olive oil mixture on both sides.

Step 9

Bake the pita wedges in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are crisp and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 10

Remove the spinach dip from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with the pita crisps on the side.
