There’s something irresistible about a bubbling, creamy dip—especially when it’s as easy as this 3-Ingredient Party Spinach Dip. Whether you’re planning a cozy gathering, holiday bash, or spontaneous game night, this warm and cheesy dip comes together in minutes with ingredients you likely already have. The combination of frozen spinach, tangy cream cheese, and salty Parmesan creates a rich, velvety texture that’s always a crowd-pleaser.
What’s even better? You don’t need any fancy tools or a mile-long grocery list. This dip bakes beautifully until golden on top and scoops perfectly with crackers, pita chips, or veggie sticks. Plus, it’s easy to double for parties or keep small for snack-time indulgence.
Interestingly, spinach dips rose to appetizer stardom in the 1950s, often served in bread bowls at cocktail parties. Since then, it’s evolved into countless variations, but the simplicity of this one is hard to beat.
Warm, creamy, and ultra-satisfying—this dip is the definition of comfort food made easy.
Recipe Yield: 6 servings
INGREDIENTS
10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Optional Seasonings (Add to Taste):
¼ tsp garlic powder
⅛ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
⅛ tsp ground black pepper
Pinch of nutmeg
½ tsp onion powder
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat and prep:
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Make sure your spinach is fully thawed and squeezed dry to avoid excess moisture in the dip.
2. Mix it up:
In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, drained spinach, and Parmesan until well combined and creamy.
3. Bake until golden:
Transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe dish or skillet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until hot and bubbly with light golden edges. Serve warm with crackers, chips, or toasted bread.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Drain Spinach Thoroughly: Removing as much liquid as possible ensures your dip turns out thick and creamy, not watery.
- Use Whipped Cream Cheese for Easy Mixing: This softens quicker and stirs together effortlessly for a smoother dip.
- Add Flavor with Extras (Optional): A pinch of garlic powder or crushed red pepper flakes can elevate flavor while keeping it simple.
