Directions

  1. If using fresh spinach, sauté with avocado oil and garlic until wilted. If using frozen, thaw and drain well.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  3. In a bowl, mix cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
  4. Add in spinach, artichoke hearts, mozzarella, Parmesan, crab meat, garlic, Old Bay, Dan-O’s Sea-Seasoning, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper, then stir well.
  5. Grease a cast iron skillet or oven-safe dish with butter. Spread mixture evenly, then top with extra mozzarella, Parmesan, and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
  7. Serve warm with crackers, tortilla chips, or toasted baguette slices.

Pair this dip with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc for a bright contrast, or a buttery Chardonnay to enhance its rich, creamy flavors.
