How to Make 4 Cheese Spinach Dip
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup sour cream. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. Mix on medium-low speed until just combined.
- Stir in 10 ounces fresh spinach (chopped). Mix on low speed until spinach is evenly distributed.
- Pour the mixture into a small oven-safe dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
- Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste) over the top.
- Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly around the edges.

- Serve immediately with your favorite pita wedges or tortilla chips.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
