Ingredients
Scale
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 the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly spray a 1-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking, then set it aside.
- 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 the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add seasonings and cheeses: Stir in the minced garlic, onion powder, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, kosher salt, and black pepper. Fold the thawed and drained spinach into the mixture until everything is evenly combined.
- Bake the dip: Spread the spinach mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Place it in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and bubbly on top.
- Serve warm: Remove the dip from the oven and serve it warm alongside sliced bread, baguette pieces, or your favorite crackers for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure to fully drain the thawed spinach to avoid a watery dip.
- This dip can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated before baking.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
- Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder for more robust flavor if desired.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
