Recipe for Baked Spinach Dip

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. package of fresh spinach, or one package of frozen spinach, thawed and excess water squeezed out
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 8 oz. package plain cream cheese, softened (I used Neufchâtel cheese, which has 1/3 less fat)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 3/4 – 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Cooking Directions

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Roughly chop fresh spinach and toss into a food processor, along with 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Pulse to desired consistency.

Mine was very finely ground. If using frozen spinach, you can skip this step.

In a small frying pan, heat up 1 Tbsp of olive oil. Add minced shallot and garlic and cook until softened, about 5-10 minutes.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt, ricotta cheese, spices, spinach, and about half of the Parmesan cheese (so ~1/4 cup). Stir until blended.

In an 8 inch greased glass pie dish or 8 x 8 baking dish, pour mixture in and spread around. Top with remaining Parmesan cheese.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese has turned golden brown. Serve with chips or veggies.
