Ingredients

  • 1 box 10 ounces frozen spinach
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • ½ cup water or chicken stock
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional & to taste
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • Chips Toasted Baguette, or Crudite, optional-- for serving

Instructions

  • Add the frozen spinach, sour cream, cream cheese, water, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes to the Instant Pot. 
  • Attach the lid and ensure the valve is in the “sealing” position.
  • Set the timer for 5 minutes. 
  • When the Instant Pot has finished cooking, release the pressure manually by switching the valve to the “venting” position-- be careful, it will steam and may splatter! 
  • When the Instant Pot has depressurized, remove the lid. Switch the Instant Pot to the Saute-Normal function. Stir the mixture together— it will look curdled at first, that’s totally normal! Just keep stirring until you get a uniform mixture, about 1 minute. 
  • Next, stir in the parmesan and mozzarella. Cook until the mixture starts to bubble and has thickened slightly, about 2 minutes. 
  • This recipe can be made up to an hour in advance and kept warm using the “keep warm” setting on the Instant Pot. 
  • Garnish with additional parmesan, if desired. Serve with crackers, chips, toasted baguette, or crudite. 

Notes

I’m not a fan of mayonnaise in my spinach dip-- i’ve found that it makes the dip a little too rich but if you’re a mayonnaise fan, feel free to swap out half of the sour cream for mayo!
Add-in options: 8 ounces of quartered jarred artichoke hearts, 8 ounces lump crab meat, or 3 slices of cooked chopped bacon are all delicious options! 
This recipe also makes a delicious base for pasta. Add 8 ounces of cooked elbow macaroni when you add in the cheeses and thin as needed with pasta water.
