01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 1 cup cubed processed cheese food 1 cup melted butter, divided 2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar ½ teaspoon garlic powder salt and pepper to taste 1 (16 ounce) package phyllo dough

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a big bowl, toss together the spinach, feta, mozzarella, processed cheese food, half of the butter, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until everything is nicely combined. Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish and lay down a sheet of phyllo dough. Spread the spinach and cheese mixture over it, then top with four more layers of phyllo, spraying each one with butter-flavored cooking spray as you go. Drizzle the rest of the melted butter over the top to get a nice, golden finish. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 20 minutes until it’s bubbly and golden on top. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Cook's tip

- Make sure to squeeze out excess water from the spinach to avoid a soggy bake.
