Spinach Dip Ingredients
- 250g spinach, chopped
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the dip evenly.
- Mix creamy base: In a medium-sized bowl, combine sour cream, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until the ingredients form a smooth, homogeneous mixture.
- Add spinach: Stir the chopped spinach into the creamy mixture, making sure the spinach is evenly distributed for consistent flavor and texture throughout the dip.
- Transfer to baking dish: Spoon the mixture into a suitable baking dish, spreading it out evenly to allow for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The dip is ready when it is bubbly and has a golden-brown top.
- Cool and serve: Remove the dip from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving so it thickens a bit and is easier to scoop.
Notes
- Use fresh or thawed frozen spinach squeezed dry to avoid excess moisture in the dip.
- For extra flavor, you can add finely chopped water chestnuts or sautéed onions.
- Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
