Directions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

    Step 1
  2. 2

    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.

    Step 2
  3. 3

    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.

  5. 5

    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. Recipe developed by Amanda Holstein
