1tablespoonvegetable oilor cooking spray; for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish with vegetable oil or spray.
In a large bowl, combine the drained spinach, bird pepper, diced bell pepper, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and chopped scallions.
Add the cream cheese, cheddar, Romano, Asiago, and Parmesan (if using) to the bowl.
Mix thoroughly with a spatula until everything is evenly combined.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
Bake uncovered for 25 minutes or until bubbly and golden at the edges.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5–7 minutes before serving.
Notes
Parmesan is optional, technically making this a five-cheese dip.Use gloves when handling bird pepper or substitute with a pinch of chili flakes if needed.Be sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the spinach to prevent a watery dip.Let the dip rest for 5–7 minutes after baking before serving to allow it to firm up.Serve with tortilla chips, pita wedges, or toasted bread slices.
