Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 10 oz fresh baby spinach
  • ¼ cup scallions diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated or shaved
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • crackers, chips, or bread for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large non-stick skillet, saute the spinach on low heat {covered} until wilted. (Use a small amount of olive oil if spinach is sticking to the pan.) Wring out any excess liquid. Roughly chop the cooked spinach.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a small baking dish with cooking spray. *I used a 9-inch oval dish. 
  • In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, cooked spinach, scallions, garlic, parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and a ½ cup of shredded mozzarella until well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture into the prepared dish and smooth it into an even layer. Sprinkle the top surface with the remaining ½ cup of shredded mozzarella.
  • Bake the dip for 20 minutes or until it is bubbly, and the cheese has melted. With the broiler on low, cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the cheese starts to brown.
  • Serve immediately with crackers, chips, or bread.

Notes

  • STORE - Allow the dip to cool completely before covering the dish in foil (or transfer to an airtight container). Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • REHEAT - The easiest and most efficient way to reheat this dip is in the microwave.
    • MICROWAVE: Heat for 30 seconds - 1 minute (depending on the quantity being heated), or until the cheese is melted.
    • OVEN: Preheat oven to 325°F. Transfer to an oven-safe dish and cover it in foil. Cook until it's heated through, and the cheese is melted.
