# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The creamy, cheesy base balances perfectly with the savory vegetables
  • It comes together in under 15 minutes of prep time
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully for lunch the next day
02 -
  • Excess water from the spinach will ruin the texture, so squeeze it thoroughly
  • The dip continues to thicken slightly as it cools, so serve it piping hot
  • Room temperature cream cheese mixes much more smoothly than cold
03 -
  • Use paper towels to squeeze the spinach, getting out as much moisture as possible
  • Let the dip rest for five minutes after baking so it sets slightly for easier serving
