Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 1 ½-quart shallow baking dish with 1 teaspoon olive oil.
- Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until lightly browned, 4 to 7 minutes.
- Add spinach and simmer until spinach is hot, about 5 minutes. Drain any liquid from the mixture and transfer to a bowl.
- Pour milk into the pot and return it to medium heat. Melt cream cheese into milk; cook and stir together, about 3 minutes. Return spinach mixture to pot with ½ cup mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese; stir to combine. Season the mixture with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with remaining ½ cup mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes.
