How To Make Air Fryer Cheesy Bacon Spinach Dip

Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic, garlic powder, and sweet paprika in a large bowl. Mix until well combined. Fold in the drained spinach, bacon, Parmesan cheese, and 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese.

Mix well.

Fold the cheese into a baking dish.  Set the pan into the air fryer, cook at 320 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the dip is golden brown. 

When the dip is hot, add the rest of the shredded Mozarella cheese and the Mozzarella Cheese Slices, return it to the air fryer until the cheese is fully melted. Sprinkle with fresh parsley right before serving.

Pro Tips:

Spinach: It’s essential to be sure all of the water is removed from your spinach. You can squeeze it with your hands, press in a potato ricer, or wrap up some paper towels and let them sit for a while before unwrapping them again, so that excess liquid has drained away.

Fresh vs. Frozen Spinach: We would use freshly cooked spinach in a perfect world for this dip. If you must endeavor with frozen vegetables instead of the fresh option, I have given you a few suggestions below.

Cheese Types: Fontina or Monterey Jack cheeses work well in place of mozzarella. If you can’t find any good melting cheese for your dip, I recommend using a blend with both parmesan and a rich flavor like Emmental cheese. But for best results, do not use cheddar cheese.

Can I Use Fresh Spinach Instead of Frozen?

Yes, although you will have to cook it first. Cook it in the microwave or a small skillet, cook as directed, and then squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Otherwise, your dip will become very watery.

Can You Make This Dip In Advance?

You can assemble this dip up to 2 hours before you plan to air fry. Assemble, cover and place into the refrigerator until ready to cook up.

Be sure to use saran wrap so that the dip does not dry out.
