Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the dip mixture a day in advance. Just cover it and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake.
- Customize Your Cheese: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Adding a bit of cream cheese or cheddar can enhance the flavor and creaminess of the dip.
- Fresh Spinach Option: If you prefer fresh spinach, you can sauté it lightly before adding it to the mix. This will enhance the flavor and reduce excess moisture.
- Perfect Dippers: Serve your dip with a variety of dippers such as crispy tortilla chips, crunchy pita chips, or fresh veggie sticks for a colorful platter.
- Add a Kick: For those who enjoy a bit of spice, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the mixture for an extra kick.
- Baking Dish Matters: Use a shallow baking dish to ensure even cooking and a bubbly top. A 9-inch pie dish works perfectly!
- Serving Suggestion: This dip is best enjoyed warm, so make sure to serve it right after baking for that melty, gooey goodness!
