Ingredients
- 300 g frozen spinach thawed, washed, and squeezed dry
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cream cheese softened
- 1/4 Cup mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp chilli flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a large bowl, combine spinach, sour cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise, mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Hollow out a round loaf of bread (optional) and fill with the spinach dip mixture. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
- Cover with foil and bake:
- In bread: 35-45minutes, until hot and bubbly.
- In baking dish: 20–25 minutes, covered.
- Remove foil, bake for a few extra minutes if needed until golden on top.
- Serve warm with bread cubes, crackers, or chips.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out all the water from the spinach to prevent a watery dip.
- Use a mix of cheeses for the best creamy and gooey texture.
- This dip is best served hot and fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
- If baking in a bread bowl, choose a sturdy loaf so it holds the dip without collapsing.
