Make Ahead Tips

Refrigerator Instructions: This dip can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator. Assemble it and do not bake it. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Preheat the oven 40 minutes before you will serve it and bake for about 25 minutes. I highly recommend allowing the dip to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving as it will be piping hot.

Freezer Instructions: Assemble the dip and transfer it to the baking pan. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw the dip overnight in the refrigerator and bake as per the recipe’s instructions.

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

    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.

    Bake on the center rack for 25 minutes or until bubbly.
