Creamy, garlicky Baked Cheesy Spinach and Feta Dip. Easy to make, even easier to eat! Serve with crackers, pita bread or baguette slices – it’s a delicious anytime treat!
A Dip For Any Occasion
I’ve happily come to peace with the decision that I don’t need a special occasion to make dips & spreads. I used to reserve such deliciousness for entertaining, but I’m over that. When you want a warm cheesy dip, you deserve a warm cheesy dip. Cheers to this Baked Cheesy Spinach and Feta Dip!
A Handful of Ingredients
This warm Spinach Feta Dip only needs a handful of ingredients – and you probably already have a few of them on hand!
I always keep a few freezer bags or boxes of frozen spinach in my freezer. I find myself reaching for it constantly – it’s an awesome addition to many soups, dips & pasta dishes. Use that spinach up in this Cream of Spinach Soup or Cheesy Baked Gnocchi.

Let’s talk mayonnaise. I’m not here to slander anyone’s personal mayo preference – BUT – this recipe needs real mayo. Hellman’s, Kraft, Duke’s – whichever you prefer. That sweet “salad dressing” stuff will not work in this recipe.
You might be raising an eyebrow over the amount of mayo & sour cream this recipe calls for. I understand. We’ll just say this isn’t health food & it’s certainly a treat, not a routine food. You might be tempted to substitute low-fat versions, but I can’t recommend it.
Mix & Bake
This dip couldn’t be simpler to make. Rinse & squeeze the thawed spinach (I press it out in a colander) and stir in the other ingredients. Spoon into a baking dish and throw it in the oven. You can use a casserole dish, bread dish or various size oven safe dishes like I do.
This dip can easily be made ahead and baked when you’re ready. It also reheats wonderfully!
Serve & Get to Dipping
I serve this hot out of the oven with triscuit crackers, pita bread & baguette slices. This dip is also good cool – but I definitely prefer it hot!
