HELPFUL TIPS TO PERFECT THIS RECIPE

• Use Fresh Spinach for a Brighter Flavor – Swap frozen spinach for 4 cups fresh spinach, sautéed and chopped, for a fresher taste.
• Mix Up the Cheeses – White cheddar adds depth, but Gruyère or Monterey Jack can make it even creamier.
• Make It Extra Crispy – Before baking, top with buttery panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan for a crunchy finish.
