    Hot Spinach Dip


    Source of Recipe


    Everyday Food

    List of Ingredients




    2 teaspoons olive oil, plus more for baking dish
    1 medium onion, diced
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    2 pounds spinach, cleaned, trimmed, and coarsely chopped
    1/2 cup milk
    6 ounces reduced-fat bar cream cheese
    3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
    3 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
    3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    Coarse salt and ground pepper
    Baguette slices, breadsticks, or crackers, for serving

    Recipe



    1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a Dutch oven (5-quart pot with a tight-fitting lid) over medium heat, warm oil. Add onion and garlic; cook until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes.

    2. Add spinach in two additions, letting the first batch wilt before adding the next; cook until completely wilted, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a colander; drain, pressing to release all excess liquid.

    3. In the same pot, warm milk over high heat. Whisk in cream cheese until melted, about 3 minutes. Add spinach, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and 1/4 cup mozzarella; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into a lightly oiled 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.

    4. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot with accompaniments, as desired.
