# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The texture is impossibly creamy without being heavy, and that golden bubbling top creates this incredible cheese pull that everyone at the table will fight over
  • It comes together in about fifteen minutes of prep time, then you just pop it in the oven and have plenty of time to actually hang out with your guests instead of being stuck in the kitchen
02 -
  • Water is the enemy here—squeeze your thawed spinach until your hands cramp, because even a little excess moisture will make the dip separate and become soupy
  • Let the dip rest for about 5 minutes after baking before serving, as this allows it to set slightly and makes scooping much easier
03 -
  • Use a shallow baking dish rather than a deep one so more surface area gets that gorgeous golden top
  • If you want to get fancy, serve it in a bread bowl—just hollow out a round loaf of sourdough and bake the dip right inside
