Heat oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently for 30 seconds, until the garlic begins to brown.
Add about half of the spinach to the pan. Using tongs or a fork, gently toss and turn the spinach so all of the unwilted leaves make contact with the bottom of the pan. As the spinach cooks down, add the remaining spinach and continue to toss. When all of the spinach is completely wilted, it is done. Transfer the spinach to a cutting board and coarsely chop the spinach.
Heat the oven to 375° F (190° C). Lightly coat a 10-ounce ramekin with cooking spray or butter.
In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup of the mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the cooked spinach.
Spread the mixture into the prepared ramekin. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese has melted.
Enjoy with chips, crackers, bread, or vegetables.

Expert Tips
Cheese Choice: Opt for freshly grated cheese over pre-shredded for a smoother and creamier dip.
Spinach Prep: Ensure all the water is squeezed out of the spinach to avoid a watery dip.
