Equipment
- 1 large ramekin or oven-safe dish, (for baking)
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 16 oz spinach, (coarsely chopped)
- 4 cloves crushed garlic
- 8 oz cream cheese, (cubed)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 cups grated Monterey jack cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
Directions:
- In a non-stick skillet, sauté the garlic in 1 tbsp of oil.
- Add the spinach and cook over medium heat until spinach leaves wilt.
- Stir in the cream cheese and melt. Add in the remaining ingredients.
- Add in the remaining ingredients.
- Heat thoroughly until bubbly and smooth. Serve warm or sprinkle with 1/2 cup of additional cheese and broil.
Notes
NOTES:
- Frozen Spinach: to use frozen spinach, squeeze the excess liquid out first. Add it after the cream cheese melts to retain its green color.
- Excessive heating can turn the spinach into a dull green color.
- To make ahead: combine the cooked spinach with softened cream cheese and mix it together with a hand mixer with all of the other ingredients. Refrigerate until needed and heat in a crockpot, skillet, or bake!
