Instructions

Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 1-quart baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2:
In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix them with a hand mixer until smooth and well-blended.

Step 3:
Add the minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Stir everything together until it’s evenly combined.

Step 4:
Fold in the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dip mixture.

Step 5:
Spread the dip evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and heated through.

Step 6:
Remove the dip from the oven and serve it warm with slices of bread, a baguette, or crackers. Enjoy!

Tuscan Dip Tips: If you want a richer dip, you can add a bit of heavy cream or cream cheese.
