Ingredients

• 6 cups fresh spinach
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cups mayonnaise
• 0.5 cups sour cream
• 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces cooked lump crab meat
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Rinse the spinach and lightly pat it dry. Cook the spinach in a large skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Roughly chop the spinach and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and minced garlic. Stir well until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Fold in the chopped spinach, lump crab meat, lemon juice, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove from the oven and let the dip cool slightly. Serve warm with crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
