Notes
- Cheese Choices: While feta is the star, you can experiment by adding other cheeses such as ricotta for a different texture.
- Spinach Prep: If using frozen spinach, ensure it's fully thawed and excess water is squeezed out. Fresh spinach can also be sautéed briefly until wilted.
- Adjust Heat: Love a kick? Add some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to elevate the spice level.
- Dip Companions: This dip pairs wonderfully with toasted baguette slices, pita chips, tortilla chips, or a medley of fresh veggies.
- Storage: If you have leftovers (a rarity!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge. It can be reheated in the oven or microwave, but might need a splash of olive oil to revive its creamy consistency.
