Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 6

Fold in the sautéed kale, grated Asiago cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.

Step 7

Transfer the dip mixture to a greased 1-quart baking dish or a small cast-iron skillet. Spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly, with a golden-brown top.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 10
