Thaw and drain the frozen spinach, and wring out all the excess water. Then, coarsely chop the spinach. If using fresh spinach, steam or boil the spinach until it is wilted. Let it cool down for about 5 minutes, or until cool enough to handle with your hands. Use your hands to squeeze out all the excess water. Then, chop.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, parmesan cheese, asiago cheese, onion powder, salt and pepper. Mix until well blended. Add spinach and continue to mix until fully combined.

Transfer mixture into a small baking dish (about 5x5-inches). Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, if using.

Bake for 30 minutes until melted cheese is golden and bubbly. If the cheese is not as brown as you would like, turn the broiler on high for a minute or two. Keep a close eye on the broiler so that you don't burn the cheese.
