Ingredients

• 450 grams Fresh spinach
• 230 grams Cream cheese
• 120 ml Sour cream
• 120 ml Mayonnaise
• 120 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 120 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Gradually add the fresh spinach to the skillet, stirring frequently, and cook until wilted (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

Once the spinach has cooled enough to handle, squeeze out the excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Step 7

Fold in the cooked spinach and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Stir to combine evenly.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

Step 10

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

Step 11

If desired, turn the broiler on for the last 2 minutes to achieve a more golden and crispy top, but keep a close eye to avoid burning.

Step 12

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm with tortilla chips, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetable sticks.
