How to make creamy spinach dip
Step 1: Add the minced garlic, frozen spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, grated parmesan cheese, and minced onion to a sauce pan.
Stir the ingredients together and cook the dip over medium heat for around 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the spinach thaws and the cheese is melted and creamy.
Step 2: Grease a small baking dish with olive oil cooking spray. Spread the spinach dip evenly into the baking dish and top with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Step 3: Bake the creamy spinach dip at 425 degrees for around 10 minutes, until melted and bubbly. Broil 1-2 minutes at the end to get the cheese browned on top.
This step is optional, but I really love those delicious browned yummy bits of cheese, they are my favorite!
It also makes for a more visually appealing appetizer in my opinion. Just watch it closely while broiling to make sure that it doesn’t burn. It will brown quickly!
