# What's Needed:

01 - 10.5 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well-drained

02 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

03 - 2 green onions, finely sliced

04 - 7 oz cream cheese, softened

05 - 3.5 oz sour cream

06 - 3.5 oz mayonnaise

10 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

11 - ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

12 - ½ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

01 - Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

01 -

It comes together in 10 minutes of prep and looks like you spent hours on it.
Everyone assumes it's complicated, but it's just a bowl, a baking dish, and 20 minutes in the oven.
It works for fancy parties, casual game nights, or when unexpected guests show up.

02 -

Drain your spinach thoroughly in a fine mesh strainer, pressing gently with paper towels; any excess water will sabotage the creamy texture.
Don't skip the optional nutmeg if you can—just a pinch wakes up all the other flavors and makes people ask what's different about your version.

03 -

Use real Parmesan from a wedge and grate it yourself; the pre-grated kind has anti-caking agents that make the texture grainy.
If you accidentally over-baked it and it's too thick, stir in a tablespoon of milk or cream to bring back that perfect scoopable consistency.
