Ingredients

• 8 cups fresh spinach
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the wilted spinach from the skillet and allow it to cool slightly. Once cool, chop it roughly to ensure even distribution in the dip.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well until smooth and evenly combined.

Step 6

Fold the chopped spinach into the cream cheese mixture until evenly incorporated.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

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