Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 12 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¾ cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
  • 9 oz frozen spinach, thawed and thoroughly drained
  • 1 (1 oz) packet ranch dip mix
  • ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese

For Serving

  • Bread, crackers, or pretzels

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, and minced garlic until well incorporated and smooth.
  3. Add Spinach and Ranch Mix: Stir in the thoroughly drained spinach and the ranch dip seasoning packet, ensuring the mixture is evenly combined for balanced flavor.
  4. Transfer and Top: Spoon the prepared mixture into the greased baking dish and evenly sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the top to create a flavorful crust when baked.
  5. Bake the Dip: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the top is bubbly and starts to brown lightly, indicating it is heated through and ready.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove from oven and serve the dip hot with an assortment of bread, crackers, or pretzels for dipping enjoyment.

Notes

  • Make sure to thoroughly drain the thawed spinach to prevent excess moisture in the dip.
  • For extra flavor, you can add chopped green onions or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • This dip can be made ahead and refrigerated; bake just before serving.
  • If preferred, substitute mozzarella or cheddar cheese with your favorite mild cheeses.
  • Keep an eye on the dip while baking to avoid burning the cheese on top.
