Spinach 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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Spray a 1-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside to ensure the dip doesn’t stick during baking.
  2. 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 the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Seasonings and Cheeses: Add the minced garlic, onion powder, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, kosher salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
  4. Fold in Spinach: Carefully fold the thawed and well-drained spinach into the cheese mixture until well incorporated, ensuring that the spinach is evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  5. Bake the Dip: Spread the 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, bubbling, and lightly golden on top.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with sliced bread, a baguette, or an assortment of crackers for dipping.

Notes

  • Make sure to thoroughly drain the spinach to avoid excess moisture in the dip.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • This dip is best served warm but can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
