Recipe Yield: 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Optional Seasonings (Add to Taste):
¼ tsp garlic powder
⅛ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
⅛ tsp ground black pepper
Pinch of nutmeg
½ tsp onion powder

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat and prep:
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Make sure your spinach is fully thawed and squeezed dry to avoid excess moisture in the dip.

2. Mix it up:
In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, drained spinach, and Parmesan until well combined and creamy.

3. Bake until golden:
Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe dish or skillet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until hot and bubbly with light golden edges. Serve warm with crackers, chips, or toasted bread.

Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

  • Drain Spinach Thoroughly: Removing as much liquid as possible ensures your dip turns out thick and creamy, not watery.
  • Use Whipped Cream Cheese for Easy Mixing: This softens quicker and stirs together effortlessly for a smoother dip.
  • Add Flavor with Extras (Optional): A pinch of garlic powder or crushed red pepper flakes can elevate flavor while keeping it simple.
