Creamy Spinach Dip

In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add a little boiling water and the olive oil.

Add the garlic and herb cream cheese and the regular cream cheese to the pot.

Stir or whisk continuously until the cream cheeses are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.

Add the thawed and well-drained frozen spinach to the cream cheese mixture and stir until fully combined.

Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese until it's melted into the dip.

Mix in the sour cream, the entire packet of ranch dip mix, and the garlic salt. Stir well to combine.

Transfer the spinach dip mixture into an oven-safe baking dish or cast iron skillet.

Top the dip with shredded mozzarella cheese, a little more Parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of paprika.

Place the dish in the oven and broil until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly, and golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.

Serve hot with breadsticks, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables.
