Creamy Cheesy Spinach Dip

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen spinach – thawed, drained, and chopped
• 0.5 cup milk
• 6 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 0.25 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
2. Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until lightly browned, 4 to 7 minutes.
3. Add spinach and simmer until spinach is hot, about 5 minutes. Drain any liquid from the mixture and transfer to a bowl.
4. Pour milk into the pot and return it to medium heat. Melt cream cheese into milk; cook and stir together, about 3 minutes. Return spinach mixture to pot with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese; stir to combine. Season the mixture with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
