Notes
- Use fresh spinach: You can replace frozen spinach with about 10 ounces of fresh spinach. Simply sauté until wilted, drain, and chop before adding.
- Customize your dip: Stir in extras like roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, or chopped sun-dried tomatoes for a flavor twist.
- Make it ahead: Prepare the mixture up to a day in advance. Cover and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Reheat easily: Leftovers can be microwaved in short bursts or reheated in the oven at 350°F until warm.
- For extra spice: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce before baking.
