Equipment

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese full fat, softened
¾ cup sour cream room temperature
1/3 cup Parmesan grated
2 cups mozzarella shredded, divided
½ teaspoon onion powder
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon cayenne
¼ teaspoon black pepper
10 ounces frozen spinach thawed and drained

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375° F and place rack in the middle position. Prepare an 8x8 casserole dish or 8’ inch cake round with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add in 1 ½ cups of mozzarella cheese and the remaining ingredients and stir together until evenly mixed.
Spread the mixture into your prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Top with remaining mozzarella and bake until the top is melted, about 20 minutes and the edges begin to brown. Bake for another 5 minutes until the top is brown in spots and bubbly around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
Serve hot with toasted baguette rounds, pita chips, or tortilla chips.

Notes

Use Softened Cream Cheese: For the creamiest, lump-free dip, make sure your cream cheese is at room temp. If you're short on time, pop it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds (but don't melt it y'all!).
Drain Your Spinach Well: Frozen spinach has a ton of water. Thaw it in the microwave or under cold water, then squeeze it dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.
Make It Ahead: Stir everything together, spread it into your baking dish, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Store it in the fridge overnight, then let it come to room temp before topping with cheese and baking. Boom, instant party app!
Brown the Top: For a golden, bubbly top, broil the dip for a minute or two after baking. Just watch it so it doesn't burn!

How to store & reheat Spinach Dip

Storing this dip is super easy boos! Just pop it into an airtight container or leave it in the baking dish, covered tightly with plastic wrap.

To reheat, microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round until it's nice and warm. Or bake it in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes until it's all bubbly and yummy again.

How long will Spinach Dip last in the fridge?

It will last for 3-4 days... If you can keep your hands off it that long!

Can I freeze hot spinach dip?

Technically, you can freeze this dip, but I wouldn't recommend it. The creamy ingredients tend to separate during freezing and thawing, leaving you with a watery mess.
