Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh spinach (chopped) or 1 cup frozen spinach (thawed and drained)
  • 200 g cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)

  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  3. In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth.
  4. Add spinach, sautéed onion and garlic, parmesan, and mozzarella. Mix well.
  5. Season with salt and black pepper.
  6. For a warm dip, transfer to a baking dish and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes until hot and bubbly.
  7. For a cold dip, refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
  8. Serve with bread, chips, crackers, or vegetables.

Notes

  • Drain spinach thoroughly to avoid a watery dip.
  • Add artichokes for a spinach artichoke variation.
  • Use Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
  • Add chili flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
  • Reheat gently and add a splash of milk if too thick.
  • Not ideal for freezing due to texture changes.
