Equipment

  • skillet
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/3 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 2/3 cup cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 tsp granulated onion
  • 1/2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Fry the spinach in small portions (without oil) for 2-3 minutes. It should be soft,but not dry or crunchy. Transfer the spinach to a medium bowl and continue with the next batch until all the spinach has been fried.
    3 cups fresh spinach
  • Gently squeeze the spinach to remove excess moisture, then finely chop.
  • Add mozzarella, cream cheese, sour cream, parmesan, onion powder, and garlic powder and salt to the bowl with the spinach. You can also add any additional spices that you like.

  • Stir the ingredients together so that they're mixed well.
  • Transfer the dip to your serving bowl. For best results, chill the spinach dip for 30-60 minutes to thicken it up a bit, then serve it with fresh herbs and extra parmesan.
