For this recipe, I recommend to use frozen spinach because it is pre-chopped and will save money for this recipe.
First, thaw and drain frozen spinach and drain with a towel to remove access water from frozen spinach. Chop the fresh baby spinach and to a large bowl with frozen spinach and mix together.
Combine all shredded cheese in a bowl. Leave half of mozzarella to the side.
Add cream cheese, sour cream, and mayo in a separate bowl and blend well to make soft. Add 1/4 of of the seasonings to mixture and mix. Pre heat oven to 375 F
Add spinach and half of shredded cheese to cream mixture and stir. Add more seasoning and cheese if needed.
Add spinach mixture to large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook mixture and stir until cheese has melted and smooth. Remove from heat and add mozzarella cheese on top.
Place skillet on large baking dish and in oven. Cover with foil. Bake for 15 minutes covered and 10-15 more minutes uncovered until cheese melts on top.
​Add bread to oven and bake until golden and slice into pieces for dipping.
Enjoy spinach dip from skillet or plate and enjoy with sliced crusty bread pieces.
