CREAMY CHEESY SPINACH DIP



Creamy Cheesy Spinach Dip image

This recipe doesn't contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it's very cheesy and very delicious. I'm asked for the recipe every time I make it. For those who don't want a strong cheese like Cheddar, you can replace it with anything you like or even leave it out altogether. I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.

Time 30m

1 tablespoon olive oil, divided

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
