Spanakopita Dip: A Cheesy & Juicy Greek Appetizer



Spanakopita Dip has all of the flavors of Greek Spinach pie. It’s warm, cheese, and so delicious. The perfect appetizer for your table.

Printable Recipe: https://www.dimitrasdishes.com/spanakopita-dip/

Serves 6-8

1 onion, finely chopped
¼ cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves, grated
1 and ½ pounds spinach leaves, roughly chopped
8 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
½ teaspoon dried dill
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
2 roasted red bell peppers, diced

Preheat the oven to 425 °F, 220 °C.

Place the onion and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until soft and golden. About 8 minutes.
Add the garlic and warm through for a few seconds.
Add the spinach in a few batches after each batch wilts.
Transfer the spinach mixture to a large bowl.
Add the cream cheese and mix together until it melts.
Add the feta cheese, half of the mozzarella, and the roasted red peppers.
Season with black pepper, dill, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Mix together and transfer to an 8-inch round or square baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
Bake on the center rack for 25 minutes or until bubbly.
Turn the broiler element on for 2 minutes so that the cheese turned golden brown.
Set aside at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving.
Serve with veggies, pita bread, chips, or breadsticks. Enjoy!

    Dimitra…I make the BEST Spanikopita pizza in the world. We have a house in Aegina. My way of doing Spani amazed the native greeks…for real. The pizza sold well in the US. I am American, but was married for years to a Greek. Living in Ireland now. Thank Christos I can cook. Saiagapo, Mori.❤🍀🇮🇪

    Dimitra from here in the UK. Always love watching your channel! Have made so many of your things, best thing so far was your Greek chicken pie, was it Kofopotia or something like that? The one with three cheeses! Amazing!

  27. Christie Crawford

    This was a killer dip-served this last night! A definite winner. did note that the temperature for the oven was not on the printed recipe. Had to go back to the video to find it was 425 degrees.
