This hot spinach dip doesn't contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it's very cheesy and very delicious. I get asked for the recipe every time I make it. For those who don't want a strong cheese like Cheddar, you can replace it with anything you like or even leave it out altogether. I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen spinach - thawed, drained, and chopped
½ cup milk
6 ounces cream cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 1 1/2-quart shallow baking dish with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until lightly browned, 4 to 7 minutes. Add spinach and simmer until spinach is hot, about 5 minutes. Drain any liquid from the mixture and transfer to a bowl.
Pour milk into the pot and return it to medium heat. Melt cream cheese into milk; cook and stir together, about 3 minutes. Return spinach mixture to pot with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese; stir to combine. Season the mixture with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
