Servings: 6
Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small sweet onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb fresh spinach, chopped
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup reduced fat mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated parmesan
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Finely chop fresh spinach, dice onion, and mince garlic. Grate parmesan and set aside for later.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes or until translucent. Stir in garlic and chopped spinach and cook for 3-5 minutes or until spinach wilts down.
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl combine Greek yogurt, light mayo, ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (optional).
Add Greek yogurt mixture to the pan and stir together. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Transfer to an oven safe baking dish (preferably the one you will serve out of). Top with additional grated parmesan and place in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Broil for 2-3 minutes to get an extra bubbly golden brown top.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
