Quick Spinach Dip Recipe

Recipe: Amy Rosen

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F.

Step 2: Squeeze handfuls of thawed spinach between hands (into the sink) to get rid as of much moisture as possible. Add spinach to bowl, and mix well with all remaining ingredients except the cheese.

Step 3: Just before baking, dot top of dip with cheese and bake for 8-10 minutes or until hot and lightly browned. Serve warm with veggies and slices of baguette or crackers.

Makes about 2 cups
