Ingredients
- 225 gram cream cheese softened
- 120 gram sour cream

- 60 gram grated Parmesan cheese
- 240 gram frozen spinach thawed and well-drained

Notes
For best results, ensure the spinach is very well drained to avoid a watery dip, and let the cream cheese come to room temperature so it mixes smoothly. You can prepare the mixture ahead of time, refrigerate it covered, and bake just before serving, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time if it goes into the oven cold. Adjust the seasoning to taste, increasing garlic or red pepper flakes for more punch, and feel free to top with extra mozzarella for a cheesier, more browned top. Serve with keto-friendly dippers like cucumber slices, celery sticks, bell pepper strips, pork rinds, or low-carb crackers, and keep the dip warm in a low oven or a small slow cooker if serving at a party.
