Combine all of the cheese dip ingredients in an oven safe dish for serving except for 1/2 cup of the mozzarella (you will use it to top the dip later). You do not need to mix them up yet nor thaw the spinach.
8 ounces cream cheese, 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, 1/2 cup chopped frozen spinach
Bake the cheese dip until the cheese is melted, stirring occasionally.
Once melted, add the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese across the top. Continue baking until the top layer of cheese is melted and starting to brown. Want more browning? Pop it under a broiler instead of baking.
Serve immediately with dunkers like chips or crostini.
