Parmesan Crusted Spinach Dip Ingredients 

A delicious and indulgent appetizer, Parmesan Crusted Spinach Dip combines creamy cheeses, flavorful seasonings, and a crispy parmesan topping for the perfect party dip.

Spinach

• Fresh Spinach: Blanch it for one minute in boiling water, drain, rinse with cold water, and squeeze out the excess moisture before chopping.
• Frozen Spinach: Thaw it completely, then drain and squeeze out any excess water.

Cheeses

• Parmesan Cheese: Adds a sharp, nutty flavor and forms the crispy crust.
• Mozzarella Cheese: Melts beautifully for a gooey, stretchy texture.
• Cream Cheese: Provides a rich, creamy base for the dip.

Base

• Sour Cream & Mayonnaise: Adds tanginess and smoothness to balance the richness.
• Garlic: Freshly minced for extra depth of flavor.

Seasonings

• Salt & White Pepper: Enhances flavor without overpowering.
• Optional Spice: A pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne for heat.

How to Make Spinach Dip?

Make this creamy, cheesy Parmesan Crusted Spinach Dip at home! A perfect party appetizer with a crispy topping—easy to bake & serve.

• Combine Spinach and Cream Cheese: Start by sautéing minced garlic and chopped onion in a bit of butter until fragrant. This step enhances the flavor of the dip! Then, mix the prepared spinach, cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise in a large bowl until smooth.
• Add in Cheeses: Stir in the mozzarella and parmesan cheese until fully combined. This will create that signature gooey, cheesy texture when baked.
• Bake Spinach Dip: Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish and smooth it out evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or until it starts to bubble.
• Make Parmesan Topping: While the dip is baking, mix grated parmesan cheese with Panko breadcrumbs. This combo creates a crispy, golden topping that takes the dip to the next level.
• Add Topping and Bake: Sprinkle the parmesan topping over the dip and broil for 3-5 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning!

How do I store leftover spinach dip?

Want to prepare your Parmesan Crusted Spinach Dip in advance? No problem! This dip is super make-ahead friendly, and storing leftovers is easy. Follow these tips to keep it fresh and delicious for days.

Refrigerate

If you’re making this dip ahead or saving leftovers, here’s how to store it properly:

• Cool completely before storing to prevent condensation.
• Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for 3-4 days.
• To reheat, bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through and bubbly.

Freeze Spinach Dip

Yes, you can freeze spinach dip, but keep these tips in mind:

• Best for make-ahead prep – Freeze before baking for best results.
• Use an airtight, freezer-safe container and store for up to 2 months.
• Thaw overnight in the fridge before baking.
• Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, adding the parmesan topping in the last 5 minutes for that crispy finish!

Pro Tips for the Best Parmesan Crusted Spinach Dip

• Use fresh spinach for the best texture, but frozen works too—just be sure to drain it well.
• Grate your own cheese for better melting and a richer flavor. Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that can affect texture.
• Sauté garlic and onions first to bring out their sweetness and add depth of flavor.
• Let the dip rest for a few minutes after baking—this helps the flavors meld together.
• For an extra crispy topping, broil the dip for the last 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
• Add a little spice! A pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne can give it a nice kick.
• Serve immediately for the best texture, but if reheating, do so in the oven to keep it creamy and delicious.
