For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes during the garlic sautéing step. Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent a watery dip. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses, such as provolone or fontina, for a unique twist. The dip can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Add a few minutes to the baking time if starting with a cold dip.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the canvas: Preheat your oven to a precise 375°F (190°C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepAwaken the Aromatics: In a 10-inch enamel-coated cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sun-dried tomato oil over medium heat. Introduce the minced garlic and tomato paste, stirring continuously until the garlic releases its fragrant essence and the tomato paste deepens in color, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
03
StepCreate the Creamy Foundation: Remove the skillet from the heat and whisk in the softened cream cheese and sour cream until the mixture achieves a velvety smoothness. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
04
StepWeave in the Flavors: Gently fold in the drained spinach, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, black pepper, kosher salt, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese until all ingredients are evenly distributed. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
05
StepPrepare for Baking: Spread the tomato mixture evenly across the skillet, creating a uniform layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
06
StepBake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is fully melted and the edges are bubbling invitingly, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. (Bake time: 8-10 minutes)
07
StepBroil for a Golden Touch: Without removing the skillet from the oven, increase the oven temperature to broil. Broil until the cheese is lightly browned on top, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. (Broil time: 3-5 minutes)
08
StepGarnish and Serve: Garnish generously with fresh basil. Serve immediately with an array of crispy crostini for dipping. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
