Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 1-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Cream Cheese and Sour Cream: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer to blend them together until smooth and creamy.
- Add Seasonings and Cheese: Incorporate the minced garlic, onion powder, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, kosher salt, and black pepper into the cream cheese mixture. Fold in the thawed and well-drained spinach until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Prepare to Bake: Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top for even heating.
- Bake the Dip: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve immediately with sliced bread, baguette slices, or your favorite crackers for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure to thoroughly drain the thawed spinach to avoid excess moisture in the dip.
- You can prepare the dip mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it before baking.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.
- This dip also works well served warm in a bread bowl for a fun presentation.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
