Ingredients

• 1 whole Garlic bulb
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 8 ounces Fresh spinach
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes or until the garlic is soft and golden.

Step 3

While the garlic is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool, and squeeze out any excess water. Chop the spinach roughly.

Step 4

Once the garlic is roasted, let it cool slightly, then squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a mixing bowl. Mash the garlic into a paste using a fork.

Step 5

Add the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise to the bowl with the roasted garlic paste. Stir until well combined and smooth.

Step 6

Mix in the chopped spinach, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes or until the dip is bubbling and golden on top.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve warm with tortilla chips, fresh bread, or vegetable sticks.
