Recipe Tips and Notes

Tthe Spinach – this recipe calls for frozen spinach that has been thawed, rinsed, and drained. A key tip is to ensure all the excess moisture has been removed from the spinach. You can use a paper towel, or a cheese cloth to squeeze and drain out all the liquid. You can also use freshly cooked spinach, following the same procedure of wringing out all the excess liquid as well.

The Cheese I personally love the flavour and cheesy goodness of cream cheese, medium cheddar, and a parmesan/romano blend for this recipe. However, it must be noted that Romano has a sharp, piquant flavour – as such you may want use less of this cheese or you run the risk of it overpowering the flavours of the others.

Other Additions – this recipe is amazing with additional add-ins like artichokes, mushrooms, and sun-dried tomatoes. On their own they literally give this recipe a whole different meaning! Add in about a half cup of chopped artichoke or mushrooms, or a quarter of a cup of sun-dried tomatoes and you are good to go. Just to avoid confusion – you add in 1 of the 3 options, not all 3 together.


Pairs particularly well with pieces of warmed pita bread and crostini or crackers, your favourite bread, or veggies (broccoli, bell peppers, cauliflower).

If opposed to spice, substitute cayenne pepper with paprika. It is more than okay to taste your mixture prior to placing in the oven, to check for flavour.
