Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a little sour cream or Greek yogurt to the mixture. If you want to reduce calories, substitute half of the butter with applesauce. Fresh spinach can replace cooked spinach if lightly sautéed first. For a twist, incorporate herbs like dill or parsley to enhance flavor. Adjust the cheese to your preference; a mix of cheeses can also work well.
