Notes
- Drain Well: Removing excess liquid from the spinach prevents a watery dip.
- Soften Cream Cheese: Room temperature blends more smoothly.
- Broil at the End: Adds a bubbly, golden brown finish.
- Serve Warm: This dip is at its best hot from the oven.
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days in the fridge.
- Freezer: Freeze portions in a freezer-safe dish, wrapped tightly with plastic wrap and foil for up to 2 months.
- Reheating: If warming up from frozen, preheat oven to 350F and bake with foil on for about 50-60 minutes or until warmed through. If thawed, it may only take 30 minutes to fully warm.
