• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Turn off the heat, leave the grease in the pan, and transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Set bacon aside.
• Wilt the spinach in the still warm skillet for a minute or two. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, yogurt, and mayonnaise together on medium-high speed until creamy and smooth. Add the shredded parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and roasted garlic. Beat on high speed until combined. Taste; add more salt or pepper, if desired. Crumble up 4 slices of bacon and add it to the cream cheese mixture, along with the wilted spinach. Fold them into the mixture until combined.
• Spoon the mixture into an 8-inch (or smaller size) casserole/baking pan. Or you can spoon it evenly into smaller ramekins. Top evenly with the shaved parmesan cheese. Crumble the last piece of bacon and sprinkle on top.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese on top is melted and the sides are bubbling. Dip is best enjoyed immediately. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 300F degree oven until the sides are bubbly again.
• Serve with wheat thins, toasted pita crackers, chips, veggies.
