Ingredients:
Instructions:

Tips:
- Consider using fresh spinach instead of frozen for a different texture and added freshness.

- To achieve a crispy top layer, try broiling the dish for a few minutes after baking.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the cooked dish to brighten up the flavors.
- If you prefer a lower-fat option, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise salad dressing.
