Ingredients

• 300 grams Fresh spinach leaves
• 225 grams Cream cheese
• 120 milliliters Sour cream
• 120 milliliters Mayonnaise
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 100 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 150 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted (about 3–4 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

Once cooled, drain any excess liquid from the spinach by pressing it lightly with a paper towel or a clean dish towel.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, 100 grams of shredded mozzarella cheese, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix until smooth.

Step 6

Chop the cooked spinach into small pieces and stir it into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to a 1.5-liter (1.5-quart) baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 50 grams of shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Serve warm with slices of crusty bread, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
