📝 FULL RECIPE (with detailed instructions & tips!):
🥣 INGREDIENTS:
● Spinach- fresh or frozen spinach can be used. Just make sure you throughly squeeze out the liquid from frozen and thawed spinach before using. If using fresh spinach wilt the chopped leaves on a skillet to down size it.
● Garlic- adds lots of good flavour, I use fresh garlic cloves and dried garlic powder to bring out the dip flavour.
● Olive Oil- is used to sweat the fresh garlic and bring out the flavors.
Cream cheese is what makes this dip super creamy.
Heavy cream thins out the dip as the cheeses tend to make it thick.
● Grated Sharp Cheeses- I used 3/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese (Kraft) and white cheddar that I grate on a box grater. You can grate your own parmesan cheese for more flavour. To make a four cheese spinach dip use 3/4 cup of parmesan and Romano cheese, 3/4 cup of grated white cheddar and 1/4 cup of grated provolone.
● Seasonings- salt, peppers, and garlic powder make this spinach dip so flavorful.
● Parmesan crust is a flavorful, crispy crust made of Panko bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
