Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick off the magic of this dip, I first preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium mixing bowl, I combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. It’s a bit of an arm workout, but the goal is to get everything blended smoothly, so there are no lumps. Next, I fold in the chopped spinach, Parmesan, mozzarella, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes if I’m feeling adventurous. I love how the colors of the fresh spinach mix beautifully with the creamy base. The smell? Almost heavenly! The mixture should be a vibrant green hue, speckled with the cheeses.
