Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10 oz) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes for a slight kick

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare the Spinach:
    • Thaw the frozen spinach, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  • Mix the Base:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth.
  • Add Cheeses and Spinach:
    • Stir in the mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Fold in the drained spinach until evenly distributed.
  • Bake:
    • Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish or skillet. Spread it out evenly.
    • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
  • Serve:
    • Serve hot with slices of crusty bread, crackers, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables like carrot sticks and celery.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream and use low-fat cream cheese.
  • Want a twist? Add chopped artichoke hearts or crumbled bacon to the mix.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
