Steps:

• 1. Cook and drain spinach; squeezing well until all water is completely removed.
• 2. Melt butter in large skillet; saute onion until tender.
• 3. Add garlic to onion mixture.

• 6. In large bowl, stir all ingredients (except parmesan cheese) together until well blended.
• 7. Put in microwave safe baking dish or oven safe baking dish.
• 8. Refrigerate at least two hours.
• 9. Top with parmesan and microwave until warm or bake at 350 F until bubbly (20 minutes or so).
• 10. Serve with baked pita, tortilla chips, or corn chips. For low carb or Keto dieters, this is delicious served with crudités such as cauliflower, celery and carrot discs.
• 11. The dip can be microwaved or baked. I prefer baking, as the edges get golden and the cheese gets a slightly crisp edge. If you microwave, I suggest cooking at 80% and in 5 minute increments.
• 12. Make ahead: This dip is super easy to prep a day or two before a party. Simply make the dip up to the point of cooking (but do not cook). Place the mixture into an airtight container and refrigerate. Just before the party, spread the dip into one medium or several smaller dishes to heat before serving.
