# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 15 minutes of prep time but tastes like you fussed over it for hours
  • The creamy, tangy, slightly spicy flavor profile works with literally any dippable thing you have on hand
02 -
  • Excess water from the spinach will make your dip watery and sad, so wring it out in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels
  • Let the dip rest for about 5 minutes after baking before serving, it thickens slightly as it cools and makes scooping easier
03 -
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving brightens everything up
  • If the top isnt browning enough, broil for just 1 to 2 minutes at the end, but watch it like a hawk
