Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
  • Stir together all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
    Ingredients for spinach squares in a glass mixing bowl.
  • Transfer the spinach mixture to the prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

  • Loosen the edges from the sides of the pan with a knife as soon as they are removed from the oven. Cool slightly before cutting into squares. Serve warm, or freeze to use later.

Notes

  • Squeeze the spinach very dry before adding it to the rest of the ingredients. To do so, I like to place the cooked spinach in a dish towel and wring it out over the sink. You'll be amazed by how much water comes out!
  • Grate the cheese by hand, rather than purchasing a package of pre-shredded cheese. This extra step is worth the effort, since the hand-grated cheese melts better (and tastes better)!
  • If freezing the squares, be sure to allow them to cool completely before wrapping.
  • The spinach squares are delicious served warm or at room temperature, so they're great for setting out at a party. You don't have to worry about keeping them warm, and they're not messy or hard to eat.
