Ingredients in Easter Bunny Spinach Dip

Here’s the magic of this dip: it’s all about the right balance of creamy, cheesy, and fresh. Let’s break it down:

Spinach

The star of the show! Whether you use fresh or frozen, spinach adds a lovely earthiness and a pop of color to this dip. It gives the dip that comforting, wholesome feel.

Cream Cheese

Cream cheese gives this dip its signature smooth and velvety texture. It melts perfectly with the other ingredients, making every bite feel indulgent and rich.

Sour Cream

For that extra creaminess and a little tang. Sour cream balances out the richness and brings a fresh, zesty flavor to the mix.

Parmesan Cheese

You can’t go wrong with Parmesan. It adds a nutty, savory depth that takes the flavor profile of this dip to the next level.

Mozzarella Cheese

Melted mozzarella adds that gooey, stringy factor that’s totally irresistible. It brings a light, creamy stretch to every bite!

(Note: the full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.)

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have this cheesy, creamy dip ready to serve in no time.

Preheat Your Oven

First things first—preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures everything gets nice and bubbly when it’s time to bake!

Combine Ingredients

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the spinach (make sure it’s well-drained if you’re using frozen), cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, and mozzarella. Stir everything together until you’ve got a creamy, cohesive mixture. It should be smooth with just a little bit of texture from the spinach.

Prepare the Baking Dish

Grease a small baking dish with a little butter or cooking spray. This makes sure your dip doesn’t stick and helps with easy cleanup later. No one wants a sticky mess, right?

Assemble the Dip

Spread the spinach mixture evenly in the prepared dish. Make sure it’s nice and level. If you’re feeling fancy, you can sprinkle a little extra cheese on top for a golden, bubbly finish.

Bake to Perfection

Pop the dish in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the dip is golden and bubbling. Keep an eye on it, because that cheesy top can turn into the perfect crispy layer if you let it bake a little longer.

Finishing Touches

Once it’s done, take it out and let it cool for a couple of minutes. It’ll be so tempting to dive right in, but trust me—just a few minutes will make all the difference in letting the flavors meld together.

Serve and Enjoy

Scoop it up with your favorite chips, crackers, or fresh veggies. This dip is so irresistible, you’ll be refilling the serving platter before you know it.

How to Serve Easter Bunny Spinach Dip

This dip is great on its own, but if you want to elevate your snack game, try serving it with these:

Fresh Salads

Pair it with a light, crisp salad for a refreshing contrast to the rich and creamy dip. A simple spinach salad with a tangy vinaigrette would work perfectly!

Warm, Crusty Bread

Who can resist crusty bread? Serve this dip with warm, freshly-baked bread for dipping. It’s a comforting, rustic touch that’s hard to beat.

Veggie Slices

For a healthier option, offer some sliced veggies like cucumber, carrots, or bell peppers. The crunchiness of the veggies makes the creamy dip even more satisfying.

Chips & Crackers

Of course, no dip is complete without some crunchy chips or crackers. Choose your favorite, but make sure they’re sturdy enough to scoop up all that cheesy goodness.

Additional Tips

  • Prep Ahead: You can assemble this dip ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. This saves time and lets the flavors mingle even more.
  • Spice It Up: Add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
  • Double the Batch: This dip is a hit, so consider making a double batch if you’re expecting a crowd.
  • Dietary Adjustments: If you’re going dairy-free, swap out the cheese for plant-based versions and use a dairy-free cream cheese alternative.
