Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil Extra Virgin
  • 1 Medium Onion Chopped
  • 1 Tbsp Crushed Garlic
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 6 cups Baby Spinach Chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C)
  • Add the cream cheese and mayonnaise to a bowl and mix them together. Set aside.
  • Add the olive oil, chopped onion, crushed garlic and dried oregano to a frying pan/skillet and sauté until the onions are softened.
  • Add in the chopped baby spinach and stir in until just wilted.
  • Fold the cream cheese/mayo mix in with the onions and spinach and smooth down.
  • If your skillet is oven-safe then you can bake this directly in the skillet. If you don't have an oven-safe skillet then transfer to a 9-inch round pie dish and smooth down.
  • Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden on top.
  • Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices for dipping and/or chips.

Notes

  1. This dip can also be served cold so if you have leftovers you can serve as is, you don't have to reheat it first. 
  2. Leftovers keep very well covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze this dip but there is the possibility of the spinach getting a little watery once thawed, though this isn't a huge issue. 
  3. Make It Dairy-Free/Vegan: You can make this dairy free by using a dairy-free cream cheese like Tofutti. If you want it to also be vegan then also use a vegan mayonnaise like Just Mayo.
