Ingredients

Units Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup drained julienne-cut sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon oil from sun-dried tomatoes jar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 (6 ounce) package frozen cut leaf spinach, thawed and drained, then patted dry
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
  • chopped fresh basil
  • crostini toast, for serving

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. Heat sun-dried tomato oil: Heat 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato oil in a 10-inch enamel-coated cast-iron skillet over medium. Add garlic and tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is fragrant and tomato paste is slightly darker in color, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Mix ingredients: Remove the skillet from heat and whisk in cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Fold in spinach, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, pepper, salt, sun-dried tomatoes, and 1 cup mozzarella until evenly combined.
  4. Spread mixture: Spread tomato mixture into an even layer. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese.
  5. Bake and broil: Bake in preheated oven until cheese is fully melted and edges are bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes. Without removing skillet from oven, increase oven temperature to broil. Broil until cheese is lightly browned on top, 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with basil and serve immediately with crostini.
