Preparation
Chef’s notes
Special Tools (affiliate links):
Electric Mixer (Handheld or Stand) | 2.5-quart Baking Dish (such as a 9-inch square pan, 9-inch cast iron skillet, 9-inch pie dish, or 11×7-inch baking dish)
Spinach:
Use anywhere around 4 cups. The recipe is very forgiving. If you like a lot of spinach, pack down the 4 cups when measuring. If you do not like a lot of spinach, do not pack it down. You can use one 10-ounce package of frozen spinach instead and skip step #3. Thaw frozen spinach and pat very, very dry before using.
Individual Ramekins:
Instead of baking in a baking dish, spoon dip equally into 6 6-ounce or 4 8-ounce ramekins. Bake ramekins on a large baking sheet. Remove from the oven after 15 minutes, sprinkle with remaining cheese and bacon as directed in step 5, then return to the oven for an additional 5-8 minutes.
