Ingredients

• 1 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 cup diced mushrooms
• ½ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and finely chopped
• 1 cup cooked spinach, squeezed dry and finely chopped
• 5 ounces cream cheese, diced
• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, or more to taste
• ½ pound cooked chicken breast, diced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and continue to cook until they begin to wilt, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; cook until moisture from the mushrooms has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sun-dried tomatoes and stir thoroughly. Add spinach and stir until incorporated. Remove from the heat and gently stir in cream cheese until melted and creamy.

Step 4

Beat eggs with a whisk in a large glass measuring cup. Whisk in milk. Pour mixture into the skillet and mix until thoroughly combined. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses; it's okay it they do not melt. Stir in chicken. Spread mixture in a 2-quart glass baking dish and sprinkle with up to 1/2 cup mozzarella, if desired.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until beginning to bubble near the middle, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer the hot dip to a serving dish.
